I understand that AI can also be used to customise care plans for people, looking at how they may respond to different therapies and customising the treatment or medicine from there. Have such considerations been looked at in any settings in the country?

I return to the huge issue of consent and the whole ethical question. If we are looking at having a huge store of people's data and running AI over it to predict where different populations might be impacted by various conditions, we need buy-in from people, trust in AI and consent for the use of their data.

There is also the question on the having it safe and stored securely as well.
