To Reduce Healthcare Workload: Identify Critical Sepsis Progression Moments through Deep Reinforcement Learning
2021 IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON BIG DATA (BIG DATA), pp. 1640–1646.
author keywords: Reinforcement Learning; Sepsis; Critical Decision
TL;DR:
The Critical-DRL approach, by which decisions are made at critical junctures, is as effective as a fully executed DRL policy and moreover, it enables the critical moments in the septic treatment process, thus greatly reducing burden on medical decision-makers by allowing them to make critical clinical decisions without negatively impacting outcomes.
