Digital health innovation is a rapidly growing field with ever increasing computer power and availability of hardware for both the patient and clinician. Health Secretary, Matt Hancock, has announced £487million to fund digital technology investment across the NHS. This area is undergoing a boom with opportunities for surgeons to be involved in conception, design and production.
Some examples include - Kheiron who are using AI for interpretation of mammograms, Babylon who are using video consultations and AI algorithms for clinical diagnosis and management.
