Electronic sensors and artificial intelligence could help doctors treat vulnerable patients in ways that improve the outcome without invading privacy, according to Stanford University.
Researchers have reviewed the field of ‘ambient intelligence’ in healthcare. It is an interdisciplinary effort to create AI systems-equipped smart hospital rooms that can do a range of things to have better patient outcomes.
AI tools can “unobtrusively” monitor impending health crises in the elderly as well. Devices could even prompt patients themselves to make timely and life-saving interventions.
