This is my favourite story these days. This is how you develop and deploy an A.I.-based algorithm for a clinical purpose. Sepsis Watch is the product of three and a half years of development (which included digitizing health records, analyzing 32 million data points, and designing a simple interface in the form of an iPad app). It scores patients on an hourly basis for their likelihood of developing sepsis (when an infection triggers full-body inflammation and causes organs to shut down). It then flags those who are medium or high risk and those who already meet the criteria. Once a doctor confirms the diagnosis, the patients get immediate attention. It has dramatically reduced sepsis-induced patient deaths and is now part of a federally registered clinical trial expected to share its results in 2021. #healthcare #aihealthcare #digitalhealth #artificialintelligence …see more
