What is Foresight AI? It’s a groundbreaking new tool developed by researchers at the @BHFDataScience - led by Health Data Research UK - that uses AI trained on de-identified NHS data to help forecast future healthcare needs. Why it matters: Foresight AI can spot patterns across millions of health records to predict how many people may need care for conditions like heart disease or diabetes in the years ahead. That means: ✔️ Better planning for NHS services ✔️ Earlier interventions ✔️ Smarter use of resources ✔️ Improved care for everyone It’s one of the UK’s first AI models of its kind to work at a national scale, using real, secure health data - while protecting patient privacy every step of the way. Find out how Foresight AI could transform the future of healthcare: hubs.li/Q03lNcds0
