Abstract

This paper presents an approach to enhancing neonatal care through the application of artificial intelligence (AI). Utilizing network-oriented modeling methodologies, the study aims to develop a network model to improve outcomes in neonatal respiratory support. The introduction sets the stage by outlining the significance of neonatal respiratory support and the challenges faced in this domain. The literature review delves into the existing body of work, highlighting the gaps and the need for a network modeling approach. The network-oriented modeling approach provides a robust framework that captures various states, such as world states, doctors’ mental states, and AI coach states, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the complex interactions in neonatal respiratory support. Through Matlab simulations, the study investigates multiple scenarios, from optimal conditions to deviations from standard protocol. The main contribution focuses on the introduction of an AI coach, which serves as a real-time intervention mechanism to fill in the doctor's knowledge gaps. The research serves as a seminal work in the intersection of artificial intelligence and healthcare, demonstrating the potential of network-oriented modeling in improving patient outcomes and streamlining healthcare protocols.
