A wound gets sutured. The surgery is over. But the riskiest hours haven't started yet.
In Bern, researchers developed an AI model named CARESCORE that analyzes vital signs collected during surgery, including blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation.
Within seconds of the last stitch, it calculates a patient's infection risk.
Trained on over 10,000 surgeries. More accurate than models that only look at pre-op data.
It won't replace a surgeon's judgment. It gives that judgment better information, sooner.
