Artificial intelligence and telemedicine show promising potential to significantly influence all phases of perioperative care and aid in developing precision medicine, despite remaining hurdles.
AI and telemedicine show promise in transforming perioperative care and anesthesiology, though implementation hurdles remain.
The application of novel technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and telemedicine in anesthesiology could play a role in transforming the future of health care. In the present review we discuss the current applications of AI and telemedicine in anesthesiology and perioperative care, exploring their potential influence and the possible hurdles. AI technologies have the potential to deeply impact all phases of perioperative care from accurate risk prediction to operating room organization, leading to increased cost-effective care quality and better outcomes. Telemedicine is reported as a successful mean within the anesthetic pathway, including preoperative evaluation, remote patient monitoring, and postoperative care. The utilization of AI and telemedicine is promising encouraging results in perioperative management, nevertheless several hurdles remain to be overcome before these tools could be integrated in our daily practice. AI models and telemedicine can significantly influence all phases of perioperative care, helping physicians in the development of precision medicine.
