Company Description: 30% of patients aged over 60 suffer from cognitive impairment after surgery. Disorientation, memory loss, difficulty in speech, and behavioura changes are among the symptoms experienced by patients affected by Post-Operative Delirium (POD). These cognitive disorders result in longer post-surgical recovery time, with increased hospital stays and associated costs. In addition, the most severe forms of post-operative cognitive disorders can lead to admission in nursing homes, dementia and even death. After onset, POD cannot be treated. Instead, prevention can be very effective. By giving special care to high-risk patients, the incidence of POD is reduced. Our novel AI-based approach allows us to identify high-risk patients before the operation. In addition to reducing risk, it also allows the benefit of the intervention to be weighed up against the real likelihoods of adverse effects.
