Abstract
In the last years, artificial intelligence has had a strong impact on health sciences, including emergency medicine. There are different fields of application, from pre-hospital to in-hospital issues. Concerning pre-hospital care, it may be useful in controlling patient' transportation by public ambulance in emergency departments and improve transport time outliers. In hospital management may benefit from its ability to read out imaging or to rapidly calculate predictive scores or suggest therapeutic strategies. While the application of artificial intelligence in emergency medicine is surely intriguing, it is not free from potential risks, which in turn may overcome benefits. Since the majority of the studies are very small rather than pilot, a clear discussion among EM physicians is now necessary in order to better define the application of this technology in the real world by maximizing benefits and reducing risks.
