Central Florida hospitals harness AI to streamline care while ensuring human oversight
-
Central Florida hospitals are using AI for administrative work like appointment scheduling and clinical summaries. AI also screens for potential illnesses like strokes and sepsis.
-
AI is not yet being used for diagnosing or directing treatment plans. Those decisions still involve human oversight by doctors and nurses.
-
Safeguards and human oversight are still needed as AI can reflect human biases and still makes mistakes in diagnosis. Studies show AI predicted sepsis in only 50% of cases.
-
Local researchers are developing AI to improve early detection of diseases like pancreatic cancer and to monitor clinician performance.
-
UCF is working on "digital twin" technology to create AI replicas of patients for care and training. The future could involve AI monitoring surgeon focus and team dynamics.
