The value of artificial intelligence for the treatment of mechanically ventilated intensive care unit patients: An early health technology assessment

J Crit CarePublished Health-economic modelling study

Authors' conclusion

Using the proposed generic health-economic model, investors and innovators can easily assess whether implementing a certain AI system is likely to be cost-effective before an exact clinical impact is determined.

Study context

Population
Mechanically ventilated ICU patients, simulated from hospitalisation until death
Comparison
Care with the artificial intelligence (AI) system vs care as usual
Methodological detailsearly health technology assessment, generic health-economic model, simulation
  • Early health technology assessment
  • Generic health-economic model
  • Simulation

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

  • Generic health-economic model suitable for estimating the cost-effectiveness of various AI systems
  • By varying input parameters and assumptions, the model can examine cost-effectiveness across a wide range of clinical settings
