Hybrid AI system for delirium prediction to ease the burden on nursing practice

In hospital departments for surgical and internal medicine, acute but regressible cognitive impairment, so-called delirium, occurs in up to 50% of patients. Delirium leads to enormous stress in nursing practice. The care of patients with delirium is time-consuming and costly. However, delirium can be prevented if it is recognised in time and appropriate preventive measures are taken.

The aim of the KIDELIR project is to develop hybrid AI models for delirium prediction and to support reflective nursing decisions with the close involvement of nursing professionals.
