Task

Patient undergoes blood test. Once blood test report is available, the AI system uses RPA to identify trends/abnormalities. If bloods are classed as ‘normal’ based on guidelines, it will file away the report and can automatically inform patients via SMS.

Intent

The AI system attempts to reduce clinicians having to review ‘normal’ bloods and filing it away, reducing workload.

AI Workflow

Input

Blood test report.

Process

Based on decision trees developed with clinical input, the AI system will class a result as ‘normal’ or ‘abnormal’.

Output

The ‘normal’ lab reports will be filed to patient notes and patient informed of outcome.

Human Oversight Level

Conditionally Autonomous AI

Institutional Oversight Examples

  • Data protection regulation
  • Clinician oversight
  • MHRA - medical device regulation

Risk

A ‘normal’ result may be filed away - but this may not be normal for the patient.
