Georgia Tech researchers are partnering with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta to develop ACCORD, an AI-powered system designed to detect subtle warning signs of rapid deterioration earlier. Kai Wang, assistant professor in Georgia Tech's School of Computational Science and Engineering and co-principal investigator, is helping lead the effort to develop a model that analyzes vital signs, lab results and other clinical data to forecast risk.

The team hopes to begin clinical testing in 2027. Read the full story to learn how AI could give clinicians more time to intervene when it matters most.
