Emergency rooms run on speed, pressure, and life-or-death decisions. Can artificial intelligence really help?In this episode, we explore how AI is reshaping emergency medicine—enhancing diagnosis, predicting patient outcomes, and streamlining critical decision-making in real time. Based on a cutting-edge report, we break down the Map–Measure–Manage framework that defines how AI tools can support clinicians at the bedside.You’ll learn:How AI is already being used to read scans and triage patientsWhere predictive algorithms are improving outcomes—and where they still fall shortWhat stands in the way: data silos, regulation, and medicolegal riskWhy AI won’t replace emergency physicians—but might become their sharpest toolThis is essential listening for clinicians, technologists, and anyone tracking how AI intersects with real-world patient care.
