Complications after surgery can pose many challenges for both physicians and patients. Now, University of Florida researchers have confirmed their artificial intelligence system accurately helps doctors predict and manage these problems. Researchers believe the system is unique in its ability to accurately predict postoperative complications by automatically acquiring patients' medical data and delivering it to doctors' mobile devices. The system, known as MySurgeryRisk, is at least as accurate as physicians in predicting surgical complications and sometimes more so, newly published findings show. At the heart of MySurgeryRisk is an algorithm powered by machine learning, a type of artificial intelligence, or AI.
