Three things to know:
1. ICUs collect numerous types of data from patients, including blood pressure, heartbeat and oxygen levels, among other vital signs.
“Critical care is essentially this interface between humans and technology,” said Peter Laussen, chief of critical care medicine at Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children, according to the report. “The amount of data streaming from the patient in the ICU is huge.”
2. In 2016, University of California San Francisco implemented an AI-powered alert system that notified clinicians hours in advance before a patient presented with sepsis, causing the death rate to decrease by more than 12 percent.
3. By analyzing vitals monitors and the patients’ EHRs, AI is able to learn which red flags are false and zero-in on data patterns that identify actual risk.
