Advancing New and Emerging Technologies in Government

AI has a brilliant capacity for enhancing data-driven decision-making and generating worthwhile insights. For public sector organisations, it’s worth finding a place for AI within the organisation’s agenda. It’s good to focus on the interaction between human and machine to discover what AI can solve for specific processes.

For example, the NHS currently uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help put doctors back on the front line rather than performing back-office administration. The referral process is automated, which helps to speed up triage functions and calculate reimbursement.

Enhanced connectivity means advanced networking – services such as 5G, ultra-broadband and edge computing. These advancements in connectivity can transform the public sector by enabling a more intelligent, easier digital journey for organisations and citizens alike.

WM5G in the West Midlands are a great example of this in action, implementing a 5G network for local authorities in the area. They’ve been working with healthcare in the area, from University Hospitals Birmingham to ambulance services to provide new functions such as remote monitoring of a patient’s vital signals, connected ambulances and wireless data connection to monitor implants.
