Abstract Over the past 10 years, artificial intelligence (AI) has become one of the fastest-growing sectors in healthcare. There are now numerous new technologies designed to cut costs and improve diagnoses and treatment pathways. However, there is significant scepticism amongst National Health Service (NHS) staff regarding the usefulness of AI and it’s cost to the NHS. This has likely resulted in underuse and slow adoption of software that may revolutionize our healthcare system and ensure its continued survival and effectiveness. Several governing bodies have put forward guidance on the safe and effective adoption of AI tools, but this rarely covers the reality of selecting and deploying new software. This article set out clear guidance on the practicalities and pitfalls of deploying digital solutions in healthcare, using the example of a deep learning algorithm designed to improve the accuracy of chest X-ray (CXR) interpretation in the emergency department.
