Sharing real-world clinical use cases from sepsis management to rapid response team operations

[May 6, 2026] AITRICS, a medical artificial intelligence(AI) company, announced on May 6 that it shared the clinical value and real-world applications of its AI solution AITRICS-VC(VitalCare), at a luncheon symposium held during the 46th KSCCM Annual Congress∙Acute and Critical Care Conference 2026(KSCCM·ACCC 2026), which took place from April 30 to May 1 at BEXCO in Busan.

At the congress, AITRICS operated an exhibition booth in addition to participating in the luncheon symposium sessions, introducing the clinical utility and application cases of VitalCare. During the luncheon symposium held on the first day, Professor YeonJoo Lee of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital served as chair, and Professor RyoungEun Ko of the Department of Critical Care Medicine at Samsung Medical Center gave a presentation under the theme of ‘Strategic Sepsis Management Using AI’.

Professor RyoungEun Ko said, “Early recognition of sepsis and timely initiation of necessary treatments, such as antibiotic administration, fluid therapy, and vasopressor use, can have a significant impact on patient outcomes. However, in actual clinical settings, it is often difficult to determine the appropriate timing for intervention”. She added, “In this regard, VitalCare is meaningful as a clinical partner that goes beyond alerting clinicians to risk signals and supports their decision-making by suggesting the optimal timing for intervention based on clinical guidelines”.

VitalCare is a medical AI solution that analyzes electronic medical record(EMR) data to predict the risk of sepsis, cardiac arrest, and death at an early stage. Through multiple clinical studies, VitalCare has demonstrated superior sepsis prediction performance compared to conventional assessment tools.

On the second day, Professor Jaehun Kim of the Department of Trauma Surgery at Pusan National University Hospital served as chair, and Professor Kihoon Kim of Trauma Surgery and the Critical Care Medicine Center at Inje University Haeundae Paik Hospital gave a presentation under the theme of ‘Clinical and Operational Improvement Cases Through the Establishment of an AI-Based Rapid Response Team.’ The presentation introduced the case of Haeundae Paik Hospital, where VitalCare was designed and operated together from the stage of establishing its rapid response team(RRT).

An analysis of Haeundae Paik Hospital’s rapid response team operations showed that VitalCare detected high-risk patients before the occurrence of acute critical events, including death, ICU transfer, and cardiac arrest. It was also found to efficiently identify high-risk patients with fewer alerts than conventional early warning scores.

Professor Jaehun Kim said, “This case shows that integrating AI into the process of establishing a rapid response team can enhance the efficiency of a hospital’s response system and lead to more structured responses”. He added, “AI can enable structured responses based on early identification of risk signs and clear response criteria, and in this respect, it has the potential to become a key infrastructure for hospital safety systems going forward”.

Kwangjoon Kim, CEO of AITRICS, said, “It was meaningful to share the real-world changes that VitalCare is creating in clinical settings, from sepsis management to rapid response team operations, at this congress”. He added, “VitalCare is expanding its applicability in clinical settings as a medical AI solution that supports clinicians’ decision-making and helps enable faster responses”. He continued, “We will continue to listen closely to voices from clinical sites and develop solutions that healthcare professionals can trust”.
