Department of Defense explores AI-enabled infection control

The technology examines vital signs and other biomarkers to predict the likelihood of infection


The technology, developed in part by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), examines vital signs and other biomarkers to predict the likelihood of infection up to 48 hours ahead of clinical suspicion, according to an article on the Healthcare IT News website.

The technology is intended for U.S. service members but expected to be used widely by civilians.
