The COVID-19 outbreak brought light to some crucial issues related to hospitals. Our healthcare systems are ill-equipped to deal with such emergencies and are easily overwhelmed. The capacity of intensive care units (ICUs) is highly restricted, and coordinating those limited resources can be difficult.
Recently a researcher group collaborated with a firm called DarwinAI to create an AI system that can assist medical practitioners in making faster, more informed judgments. This study is a massive step forward for Hospital Management System. It shows that the new software can accurately forecast ICU admission requirements in new COVID cases by more than 95 percent. The technology would help make hospitals more efficient and help save numerous lives.
Everyone has come across this phrase, especially during emergencies like the COVID-19: insufficient ICU beds. It is critical to manage those units with the most excellent efficiency possible. That is why researchers created an artificial intelligence (AI) system capable of predicting the need for ICU admission.
This newly developed AI programme isn't intended to take the role of doctors. It was trained on nearly 400 cases in which doctors had to evaluate whether COVID patients should be admitted to critical care. In restricted resources, AI can consider a large quantity of data to make optimal judgments. Hundreds of lives could be saved as a result of this technique.
The team's goal was to assist physicians in making more consistent, faster decisions based on previous patient cases and outcomes. Their efforts were all aimed towards enhancing their knowledge to make better use of medical resources and personalise patient care.
This AI-based method is now being integrated into a more extensive clinical decision support system that includes other AI-based systems and tools. Medical photos are analysed with AI to identify the severity of COVID-19 lung damage. During the milder COVID-19 periods, it can also help manage the backlog of medical treatments.
COVID-19 is still ongoing. Even if it is over soon, we must be ready for future pandemics. Our reaction to impending pandemics must be well-coordinated, swift, efficient, and intelligent. AI is a fantastic tool for analysing massive data sets and making better decisions. And we need to learn to take advantage of it more.
