Description

Monitoring patients with aneurysmal rupture for delayed cerebral ischemia was historically a numbers game. It was difficult for doctors to predict outcomes in the weeks that followed their rupture, so at-risk patients could find themselves under observation in the ICU anywhere from 7 to 21 days. Dr. Soojin Park, Medical Director of Critical Care Data Science and AI at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia, knew there had to be a better way to monitor patients and predict outcomes. So, relying on her background in machine learning and leveraging vast amounts of data, Dr. Park developed the potentially game-changing Continuous Monitoring Tool for Delayed Cerebral Ischemia (or COSMIC) score. The score uses machine learning, and basic patient data that can be collected with equipment available at any hospital, to detect signals that more accurately assess risk, allowing doctors to treat each neurocritical patient with targeted care - ultimately improving outcomes and patient experience.

Join science journalist Catherine Price as she sits down with top physicians from NewYork-Presbyterian hospital to discuss advances in their latest research, pioneering new treatments, and compassionate patient practice. From the most complex cases in pediatric surgery, to the way AI will improve disease detection and diagnostics – the work of these physicians is united by a collective mission to transform what it means to deliver patient-centered care. This is a show for healthcare professionals looking for the inside story – and real human details – behind some of medicine’s greatest leaps forward. For more information visit nyp.org/Advances
