Wearable AI to enhance patient safety and clinical decision-making

Abstract

Wearable artificial intelligence (AI) technologies show promise in healthcare, with early applications demonstrating diverse benefits for patient safety. These systems go beyond traditional data collection, using advanced algorithms to provide real-time clinical guidance. From infectious disease monitoring to AI-powered surgical assistance, these technologies enable proactive, personalized care while addressing critical safety gaps. However, successful implementation requires careful consideration of technical, operational, and ethical challenges.
