Digital NHS and AI

TheCatWoman

Wes Streeting has announced new digital services for NHS England and that the public will have to be educated about it, will that include teaching us how to use a smart phone, afford a smart phone and how to download an app and not give our data to scammers?

I'm glad I live in Wales and don't have to put up with this nonsense..yet and that my GP's don't force people to use the stupid app thing we have that doesn't work.

  • I share your concern  I asked google AI - answer    "Patients can access NHS services without relying on IT by utilising proxy access where a trusted individual manages services on their behalf, or by directly contacting their GP or other healthcare professionals. Proxy access can be formal, requiring setup by the GP, or informal, involving sharing login information. For those needing assistance with online services, support is available through GP surgeries and" (this is the funny bit...) "online resources."     I am reasonably IT literate having started studying it in 1978 and done bits and pieces since.  That said it still can be really frustrating and I am one of those old dogs that takes a while to learn new tricks.  Whatever it is sold as, IT is currently not as user friendly as it might be - especially if the user is under stress, like when unwell for example....  (Doh!!!! it's not rocket science is it...)    But then so can humans can be not as user friendly as they might be too....  Regularly change and innovation is expected to quickly and smoothly replace what has gone before it before all the risks are covered and mitigated.   I think that HM governments have a record on that...
