AI found to perform better than humans in suggesting appropriate treatment steps in sepsis cases

In the future, artificial intelligence will play an important role in medicine. In diagnostics, successful tests have already been performed: for example, the computer can learn to categorize images with great accuracy according to whether they show pathological changes or not. However, it is more difficult to train an artificial intelligence to examine the time-varying conditions of patients and to calculate treatment suggestions—this is precisely what has now been achieved at TU Wien in cooperation with the Medical University of Vienna.
