The AI-based early warning system the NHS is developing is part of the government's 10 Year Health Plan to use data to identify patient safety concerns.
The program will focus on decreasing the rate of canceled medical appointments by autistic individuals using oVRcome's VR-based exposure therapy platform.
The app was used by the U.K.’s National Health Service to help clinicians access patient information, but most NHS Trusts had reportedly stopped using it.
At an event earlier this month, NHS Director of Digital Development Sam Shah laid out several barriers to innovation the system faces.
Part of the NHS's new 10-year plan is to make the organisation a testbed for new health tech, such as the portal-like HealthTech Connect.
