NHS England to trial AI and robotic tools to detect and diagnose lung cancer

Pilot comes at same time as pledge to offer all smokers and ex-smokers lung cancer screening by 2030

NHS England is to trial a combination of AI and robot-assisted care to speed up the detection and diagnosis of lung cancer, the UK’s most lethal form of the disease.

The trial comes at the same time as the health service pledges to offer all smokers and ex-smokers the chance to be screened for lung cancer by 2030.
