Newfoundland and Labrador supports AI medical record tools for insurers and lawyers

Newfoundland and Labrador announced $877,196 in Business Growth Program support on November 3 for SiftMed's work on artificial intelligence tools used to review medical records in insurance and legal files. The planned 18-month project includes reporting, case review and expert referral features, with four full-time technical positions expected. The funding is for development and commercialization, so claims professionals still need to assess accuracy, confidentiality and the suitability of any new system before relying on its output.
