AI agent offers honest NHS cancer wait time stats, refuses personalized forecasts

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

An AI agent was developed to provide transparency on NHS cancer wait times, drawing inspiration from real-time order tracking available for food and deliveries. The agent's core feature is its refusal to provide personalized wait time forecasts, as such predictions are not supported by available data.

IMPACT This AI agent could improve patient experience by providing transparent, albeit statistical, information about cancer wait times.
