What Does AI Do in Primary Care?

AI tools can support healthcare teams with:

​

• Recording notes more easily: Tools like Clinical Note Support help doctors and nurses create clinical notes or referral letters during your appointment, saving time and reducing paperwork.

​

• Clinical Decision Support: Some AI systems suggest possible diagnoses or flag drug interactions, helping clinicians make informed decisions based on the latest guidance.

​​

• Triage and Booking: AI chatbots may help assess symptoms online and suggest whether you need to see a doctor, book an appointment, or seek other help.

​​

• Managing Long-Term Conditions: AI can monitor trends in patient data (like blood pressure or glucose levels), helping identify when someone’s condition might be getting worse.
