DrugGPT: new AI tool could help doctors prescribe medicine in England

New tool may offer prescription safety net' and reduce the 237m medication errors made each year in England

Drugs are a cornerstone of medicine, but sometimes doctors make mistakes when prescribing them and patients don't take them properly.

A new AI tool developed at Oxford University aims to tackle both those problems. DrugGPT offers a safety net for clinicians when they prescribe medicines and gives them information that may help their patients better understand why and how to take them.
