Anaesthesia Monitoring using Artificial Intelligence Techniques

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) will change our lives beyond rec- ognition, it will have a far bigger impact than the internet or mobile technology. We are now at the threshold where ma- chine intelligence is comparable with human intelligence, in certain limited aspects, for the first time in history. Enhance- ments in technology, both software and hardware, have resulted in some human decision-making being inferior to, and more erratic than, AI in many fields, including medicine. However, it is widely accepted that rather than compete with machines, using AI to support and help make better in- formed decisions is the key to future medicine. In areas like anaesthesia, AI can be used to develop useful advanced clinical decision support tools based on machine learning.
