Dr Adrian Haimovich Presents his AI Research at the 25th International Conference on Emergency Medicine, Germany
Dr. Adrian Haimovich, the Director of the BIDMC Department of Emergency Medicine’s Division of Artificial Intelligence, spoke on Artificial Intelligence in Sepsis at last week’s prestigious and 25th annual International Conference of Emergency Medicine in Hamburg, Germany. He also contributed to two AI-related panel discussions.
Dr Haimovich discusses the GEST AI Tool — Geriatric End of Life Screening Tool. The findings of his study suggest that both serious illness criteria and GEST identified older ED patients at risk for 6-month mortality, but GEST offered more useful screening characteristics. Future trials of serious illness interventions for high mortality risk in older adults may consider transitioning from diagnosis code criteria to GEST, an automatable EHR-based algorithm.
Dr Haimovich discusses the BIDMC MINERVA study, which utilizes a voice-based conversational assistant to elicit patients’ goal for hospitalization, identifying values and priorities that matter most to them.
