In this latest instalment of our video interview series, we sit down with Mark Ratnarajah, Paediatrician and UK Managing Director at Sword Intelligence, to discuss the practical application of Agentic AI within the NHS.
As healthcare systems globally grapple with burnout and a mismatch between patient demand and clinical supply, Mark explains how Sword Intelligence is acting as a “force multiplier.” We dive deep into the data—including a 74% reduction in delivery costs—and explore a world-first national AI deployment in Greece, evaluated by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Key Discussion Points:
- The Digital Front Door: Navigating patients to the right care setting without the “postcode lottery.”
- Agentic AI vs. Traditional Chatbots: How natural language agents handle complex triage and care orchestration.
- Clinical Outcomes: Why 58% of MSK surgeries can be avoided through AI-supported conservative management.
- The NHS 10-Year Plan: Moving care from hospitals to the community and from reactive to preventative models.
Mark Ratnarajah is a paediatrician with over 30 years of experience in the NHS. For the last decade, he has worked at the interface of health tech and clinical operations, focusing on how machine learning and AI can translate insights into actionable care.
