Can Heart Rate Variability Predict Sepsis Before Symptoms Do? and What's Stopping Neonatal AI From Changing Outcomes?

Can Heart Rate Variability Predict Sepsis Before Symptoms Do?
Case study

Subtle changes in heart rate patterns can appear hours before a newborn shows clinical signs of sepsis. This case study examines how AI-driven monitoring of heart rate variability might give clinicians an early warning. It looks at what the evidence shows, where the approach falls short, and how an early alert should shape the response at the bedside.

What’s Stopping Neonatal AI From Changing Outcomes?
15-minute discussion

Many neonatal AI tools perform well in research, yet few have measurably improved care. This discussion explores the barriers to real-world impact: limited evidence from trials, poor integration into clinical workflows, issues of trust and accountability, and the challenge of applying models across different units and populations.
