Chandigarh: PGI is researching application of artificial intelligence/ machine learning algorithms to predict critical events such as mortality, length of ICU stay etc. Dr G D Puri and his team, led by Dr Rajarajan Ganesan are making inroads into the world of AI in medicine with the support of the cardiothoracic vascular surgery team under Dr Shyam Kumar Singh Thingnam and Dr Nitin Auluck’s section at IIT, Ropar.
Under their guidance, an interdisciplinary team is developing a predictive platform over the existing anaesthesia information and management system (AIMS) to aid the decision-making process. This multidisciplinary team includes Sushant Konar, a PhD scholar and an Indian Council of Medical Research-sponsored research fellow under Dr Puri. AIMS is already deployed and functional in the four cardiothoracic vascular surgery operation theatres at the Advanced Cardiac Centre. The new technology would enable better utilisation of resources and predict adverse outcome probabilities promoting enhanced cardiac care postoperatively. tnn
