A Case Study of AI-Enabled Software as a Medical Device Cleared by the FDA for Assessing Hemorrhage Risk Index (APPRAISE-HRI) after Trauma.

Abstract

Hemorrhage is the leading cause of preventable death on the battlefield, yet combat medics lack clinical decision support systems to help stratify hemorrhage risk in trauma casualties. We previously trained the Automated Processing of the Physiological Registry for Assessment of Injury Severity - Hemorrhage Risk Index (APPRAISE-HRI) software to associate patterns in vital signs (heart rate and blood pressure) collected from trauma patients with three HRI levels: I (low), II (average), or III (hi
