Imagine a computer program that can sift through a patient’s medical history and highlight potential signs of cancer. This is exactly what the “C the Signs” program does! It uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze a patient’s GP records, searching for hidden patterns that might indicate cancer.
The results are promising. Doctors using “C the Signs” were able to detect significantly more cancers compared to those who didn’t have this AI assistance. The success rate went from finding roughly 59 out of every 100 cancers to finding about 66!
This means AI is becoming a valuable tool for doctors, helping them catch cancers earlier which can lead to better treatment outcomes for patients.
