Technology in General Practice
Artificial intelligence is rapidly entering primary care, from AI scribes and documentation tools to RAG-based medical knowledge systems and workflow automation.
But in healthcare, impressive technology is not enough. Tools must be safe, clinically useful, and designed to support doctors — not replace them.
This hub brings together articles exploring how technology is shaping general practice, including:
- AI scribes and consultation documentation
- Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) in medical knowledge
- Vector databases for clinical information retrieval
- Automation of chronic disease workflows
- Privacy, safety, and governance considerations
Below you'll find guides and articles exploring these technologies and how they can be used responsibly in general practice.
