U.K. Babylon Health, offers a digital healthcare app,
. . . with a mixture of artificial intelligence (AI)
. . . video and text consultations, with doctors and specialists,
. . . has scored a potentially significant trial with,
. . . the National Health Service (NHS).

1.2 million residents of north central London,
. . . reports the FT, will get access to,
. . . a new NHS app ‘powered by Babylon,’
. . . that will perform triage,
. . . for “urgent but non-life-threatening conditions”.

Artificial Intelligence triage,
. . . is something that a few years ago people would have said was impossible to get a machine to do,
. . . now we’re doing it with thousands of patients every single day.

“In 2 or 3 years, realistically,
. . . I can’t see how a human being can diagnose better than a machine,”
. . . said CEO and founder, Dr Ali Parsa.

The health service claims,
. . . someone can get advice from the app,
. . . 12 times faster,
. . . than a phone call to [a human person]  111.
