Summary

This study will develop and test an AI-powered digital navigator for UK veterans with service-related physical health problems. The AI will suggest the best care pathway based on patient data, and researchers will compare its recommendations to those made by a team of doctors. Around 1,389 veterans will take part over two years to see if the tool can safely speed up referrals and improve patient satisfaction.
