Abstract

BACKGROUND: Patients and families on Intensive Care Units (ICU) benefit from ICU diaries, enhancing their coping and understanding of their experiences. Staff shortages and a limited amount of time severely restrict the application of ICU diaries. To counteract this limitation, generating diary entries from medical and nursing records using an artificial intelligence (AI) might be a solution.
