Report examines future use of AI in emergency care and defense medicine

Yohan Robinson, adjunct assistant professor at the Institute of Clinical Sciences, is one of the editors behind a new report from the Armed Forces, on ongoing and planned approaches based on artificial intelligence (AI) in emergency care, primarily intended for the Armed Forces’ strategic management. Special emphasis is placed on the care of trauma patients, where the solutions could contribute to the Armed Forces being able to maintain their healthcare capacity in critical situations. The technology provides opportunities to collect, process and analyze large amounts of information about the unit’s health status and physical combat value in real time. Assessment of the injured can be done, for example, by triage drones and the subsequent evacuation can be facilitated by intelligent autonomous platforms.
