Research Brief
My project "AI Clinician for Paediatric Sepsis" focuses on developing an artificial intelligence-based recommendation system for the treatment of sepsis in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) patients. Based on previous research in the Faisal lab on the AI clinician, the data for the study is sourced from several participating PICUs, located in London, UK, and the United States. These datasets encompass various types of information collected or generated at regular intervals during a patient’s stay, including vital signs, laboratory results, medication dosages, and demographic details. The ultimate objective of the project is to create a system that can be implemented in PICUs, providing clinicians with real-time recommendations to support decision-making and ensure optimal care for pediatric patients suffering from sepsis.
