AI-Powered Transplant Success: Optimizing Organ Allocation
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
This activity consists of a recorded presentation from the "34th Annual National Conference" held in Minneapolis, Minn., May 13-15, 2025.
This activity will explore the ways in which artificial intelligence (AI) can improve organ allocation and transplantation medicine. This session will delve into how AI-driven algorithms enhance organ-matching precision, help predict transplant outcomes and optimize postoperative care. Participants will gain insight into the practical integration of AI into transplant practices, learn innovative strategies, and discuss real-world examples that demonstrate improved patient care and improve transplant success rates.
