According to a report by The Guardian, data analytics and technology company Palantir lobbied a government minister in an effort to expand the application of its artificial intelligence tools to National Health Service (NHS) general practice (GP) records. The lobbying effort represents an attempt by the company to broaden its technological footprint within the healthcare sector by gaining access to sensitive primary care patient data. Palantir, known for its extensive data integration platforms, has previously secured contracts within the health service, but this specific push targets the integration and use of AI capabilities within GP patient records.
