Using artificial intelligence (CognoSpeak™) in memory assessments: a GP interview study
GPs thought effective implementation of CognoSpeak™ could save time, expedite diagnosis, free-up much needed capacity, and improve the longitudinal assessment of people with mild cognitive impairment. A major concern among GPs was the potential for unintended consequences such as creating additional unfunded work. They also felt it could exacerbate difficulties at the intersections between subjective memory deficits and other factors such as low mood, excess alcohol consumption, learning difficulties, or language and culture. They were concerned about poor access to technology among older and more economically deprived people.
