Artificial Intelligence and Big Data Science in Neurocritical Care

In recent years, the volume of digitalized web-based information utilizing modern computer-based technology for data storage, processing, and analysis has grown rapidly. Humans can process a limited number of variables at any given time. Thus, the deluge of clinically useful information in the intensive care unit environment remains untapped. Innovations in machine learning technology with the development of deep neural networks and efficient, cost-effective data archival systems have provided the infrastructure to apply artificial intelligence on big data for determination of clinical events and outcomes. Here, we introduce a few computer-based technologies that have been tested across these domains.
