Artificial Intelligence To Play Major Role In Patient Care - AI Summary

In a paper on'Artificial Intelligence in Nursing' presented jointly by Dr Ramesh M.Sc Phd, HoD Medical Surgical Nursing, St Paul's Hospital Millennium Medical College, Ethiopia, and Dr S. Indira, Dean of Narayana Nursing College, said AI offers three advantages over traditional methods -- the ability to quickly consider large volumes of data in risk prediction, increased intervention specificity (accurately flagging patients most at-risk) and automated adjustments in variable selection and calculation. "AI can help detect which patient features are most important in public health applications, allowing for more focused preventive interventions. "AI may more accurately predict fall risk without manual calculation and provide automatic warning systems," said Prof. Ramesh and Dr Indira. They have also highlighted the role of mobile health technologies (smartphones, smartphone apps, and wearable technologies) to help manage chronic illnesses by receiving and sending data directly between patients and care-providers, creating a comprehensive picture of the dynamic state of a patient's health in their everyday environments. According to the duo, sensor-based technologies, when placed in the home or hospital environment and used in combination, help nurses compose text and multimedia messages (for sharing photos and videos), measure body movement and collect weight, movement, and environmental (temperature, light, sound, air quality) data.
