The University of Florida Health Center is testing a new technology in its smart intensive care unit. The technology includes sensors and cameras that track patient movements, vital signs, and facial expressions in detail, with the data processed by artificial intelligence (AI). This high-tech AI experiment, funded by the National Institutes of Health, is in its third year of operation. The goal is for the AI system to provide real-time healthcare recommendations, reducing paperwork and giving medical professionals more time for patient care. The system is being trained to understand various patient actions like sitting and standing. The technology aims for a holistic approach to healthcare but won’t replace human caregivers any time soon. However, it will assist healthcare professionals by highlighting significant changes in patient behavior before patients are even aware of them.
