Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Receives $2.8 Million Award to Use AI to Predict Precision Dosing for Critically Ill Children

Predicting the right dose of medication that a critically ill child in the ICU will require in the future is a huge challenge for clinicians. FDA prescribing guidelines generally assume that patients are stable enough so that dosing for a given group is usually unchanged during treatment, but this ‘one size fits all’ approach to medication dosing does not accurately target the condition of each individual patient over time.
