APPLICATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN CIVIL AND MILITARY MEDICINE

Area of Science:

• Medical Technology
• Artificial Intelligence
• Trauma Surgery

Background:

• Modern warfare, including the conflict in Ukraine, presents complex gunshot injuries from high-energy weapons like missiles and drones.
• Military medical doctors face challenges in providing timely and individualized care for massive casualties and combined trauma.

Purpose of the Study:

• To initiate a discussion on the potential role and application of artificial intelligence (AI) in managing gunshot injuries.
• To explore AI's utility in treating combat patients and individuals injured by high-energy weapons.

Main Methods:

• The study initiates a discussion based on the observed challenges in managing severe trauma.
• It explores the theoretical application of AI in clinical decision-making for battlefield injuries.

Main Results:

• Gunshot wounds from high-energy weapons pose significant clinical challenges, demanding swift and complex treatment decisions.
• AI demonstrates potential as a supplementary tool to aid medical doctors in decision-making for severe trauma patients.

Conclusions:

• AI could be valuable in deployed field hospitals and higher-level medical facilities for managing severe trauma.
• Further research is needed to establish the practical utility of AI in treating high-energy weapon injuries during wartime.
