Post-surgery complications are a big risk and have been an issue for both physicians and patients worldwide, but a new Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform could now ease their worries. The AI has successfully identified postoperative complications by automatically acquiring patients' medical data and delivering it to doctors' mobile devices. The system, named MySurgeryRisk, extracts clinical data in real-time, creating an "analytic pipeline" that pushes valuable results to surgeons' mobile devices. The findings have been published on Jama Network Open after a study conducted over 74,417 inpatient surgical procedures involving 58,236 adult patients. The platform is powered by machine learning and has been developed using nearly seven years of data from more than 74,000 procedures.

"The automated real-time predictions of postoperative complications with mobile device outputs had good performance in clinical settings with prospective validation, matching surgeons' predictive accuracy," researchers said in the paper.

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.
