University College Hospital in London has developed AI algorithms to predict which patients are most likely to miss their appointments. The algorithm used records from 22,000 MRI scan appointments, and was able to identify 90% of those patients who would turn out to be no-shows. Parashkev Nachev, a consultant neurologist at the hospital, believes the technology could save up to £3 per appointment. However, the algorithm remains imperfect, often flagging patients as likely to not show up when in fact they did.
