The longer it takes to provide care in the so-called “golden hour” after a traumatic injury, the lower the chances of patient survival, medical experts say.
Researchers at the University of Texas at San Antonio Matrix AI Consortium received the funding from the UT System’s Trauma Research and Combat Casualty Care Collaborative, or TRC₄. UTSA will work in collaboration with UT Health San Antonio and University of Texas at Tyler. Researchers across the UT System are aiming to improve the care for critically ill patients using AI tools “to identify and remediate delays in care,” according to UTSA officials.
In the acronym-rich fields of AI, medicine and academia, iRemedyACT is tortured shorthand for Identification and Remediation of Delays to Definitive Care of Critically Injured Patients in the Texas Trauma System with Advances in AI to Improve Care for Trauma.
