Using AI To Monitor Patients In ICU - DZone AI

The intensive care unit is quite possibly the most intense part of any hospital, with those patients with the severest illnesses and injuries being treated. It's an environment where decisions are literally life and death, and this places incredible pressure on staff, who place among the highest in terms of stress and burnout. A recent study by Stanford University proposes using technology, and specifically AI, to try and ease the burden. The paper highlights an AI-driven system to monitor the patients in ICU around the clock, with a particular focus on monitoring their movements from day to day. The rationale was that movement is a good indicator of physical and mental health and helps to prevent muscle atrophy and improve healing.
