A group of medical consultants in Belfast have teamed up with IT specialists to develop a mobile app that can identify where a doctor is going wrong when interpreting X-rays.
The app helps medics develop their skills. It also identifies areas of weakness that can be worked
on in training and that could potentially save lives.
According to those behind the training tool, it is the
first of its kind in the world.
Dr Tom Lynch is among the founders. He said: "This is the medical and IT worlds coming
together in Northern Ireland and producing something which is really
unique."
Primarily the device, known as Experior, will be
used in accident and emergency and cancer departments, but could eventually be
rolled out across all health specialities and even into education, industry and
financial services.
Dr Lynch is head of nuclear medicine at the Northern
Ireland Cancer Centre in Belfast.
