Artificial Intelligence and Predictive Analytics

Artificial intelligence (AI) and predictive analytics—a subset of AI techniques—are increasingly used in medicine, and the field of hemodynamic monitoring is no exception. These techniques are used to predict adverse hemodynamic events such as hypotension or tachycardia before they actually occur. In the development of predictive models, steps have to be taken from collection of monitoring data to feature extraction and feature evaluation. Finally, the best model should be selected and the predictive performance evaluated. Predictive models show promising results, yet only few are currently used in clinical practice.
