The NHS has started rolling out an AI diagnostic assistant across 200 hospitals, designed to triage medical imaging and flag urgent cases for radiologists first. Officials say the goal is to cut diagnostic waiting times for the most serious conditions. In pilot sites, the system helped reduce turnaround on priority scans while keeping clinicians firmly in the decision loop. Trusts emphasized that final diagnoses remain a human responsibility. Patient advocates welcomed faster triage but urged transparency on accuracy and clear routes to challenge automated prioritization.
