AI being used to help emergency medical patients

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence could soon play a large role in aiding medical professionals dispatch emergency services to patients worldwide. Dispatchers in Copenhagen, Denmark have been working alongside an AI named Corti since 2016. Corti is able to understand both the words used in distress calls as well as the sounds taking place in the background and the AI uses this information to provide emergency personnel with the necessary questions for a more accurate diagnosis. The AI also helps out by reminding dispatchers to obtain crucial information such as the address of the incident and it can even ensure that the ambulance en route is travelling to the correct destination. However, Corti's ability to detect background clues is extremely valuable to medical personnel.
