    I’m sure this will end well.

    Although if it’s trained on transcripts of 111 calls it’s just going to send everyone to A&E anyway.

    Did Palantir have its fingers in NHS yet?

      Yes, Palantir already have their hooks into the NHS. The data is very attractive to them.

    how many people is this going to kill? (and/or) how much medical resources is this going to waste…

    Right so that apps useless then. Although to be honest it was already useless.

    Anyway if there’s some reason you really can’t work it out just dial 111. Then somebody who can’t see you, doesn’t know your patient history, and isn’t a qualified medical practitioner, will hand hold you and lead you through to the logical conclusion that you probably need to just take a paracetamol / bleeding from your eyes is not a good thing, and should go to a&e, preferably yesterday.
