Chris Bates, research and analytics director at clinical software firm TPP, said his company’s technology could save the cash-strapped NHS a fortune. No-shows account for more than a million missed GP appointments every month – equal to one in 20 scheduled consultations. Now Leeds-based TPP has developed an AI tool that predicts which patients are most likely not to turn up to their appointments. Young men from a lower socio-economic background in and around cities are most likely to miss GP appointments, Bates told the Mail. A successful trial in Norfolk of the AI technology is being rolled out across the country.
