In 1974, Star Trek’s animated series introduced its audience to the holodeck, a bit of futuristic technology that would eventually appear in multiple iterations of the science fiction classic from television programs to the big screen. This recreation room was designed to create simulated, alternative versions of reality. In this simulated world, crew members could engage with their virtual environment …

AI can more quickly identify hemorrhages on CT scan in the emergency department; it can make surgeries safer in the operating room, reduce mortality in intensive care units; and it can help patients recover faster after being discharged.   Artificial Intelligence could also assist emergency medical service (EMS) providers in treatment and triage …
