This recording captures the AI panel discussion from the 2026 Delphi Neonatal Innovation Conference, held live on Monday afternoon. Dr. Jim Barry (University of Colorado), Dr. Thao Ho (UCSF), Lindsey Knake (University of Iowa), Selva Selvaraj (Nicklaus Children's Health System), and Dr. Ryan McAdams (University of Wisconsin-Madison) discuss where AI stands in the NICU today.
The panelists cover predictive models for sepsis and NEC, AI documentation tools, and the gap between research prototypes and clinical implementation. They address challenges with generalizability across different units, ethical considerations, parent-facing AI applications, and what might be standard practice in ten years. If you're trying to figure out what's actually working versus what's still theoretical, this conversation covers the current state of play.
