AI in primary care cancer detection - Primary Care Unit

Title:	AI in Primary Care Cancer Detection
Project Description:	There is accumulating evidence that artificial intelligence (AI) can assist clinicians to make better clinical decisions in certain areas of healthcare. However, there are currently no AI technologies that are established in routine clinical care. We are aiming to undertake a scoping review of the evidence to establish the types of technology that are in development, and whether they are ready for implementation in primary care settings. We will also gather evidence on the implementation barriers that could prevent this exciting technology from being translated into useful clinical tools.
