An artificial intelligence tool may be able to free up GP time by quickly summarising the details from past consultations with a patient, researchers have found.

Such summaries could mean more time for doctors to spend with patients rather than having to trawl through lengthy records to look at a patient’s history, the team from Imperial College London concluded.
