Abstract

Transfusion Medicine (TM) is a relatively young medical discipline supporting a large number of medical specialties on an almost daily basis. In de routine of TM large amounts of data are collected and processed in a standardized way and depending on the economy of scale practiced. Blood and its components are not without risk when transfused. That burdens the decision-making and selection for transfusion. The field presents a promising challenge for the introduction of artificial intelligence through deep learning and machine learning to improve the quality of outcomes – safety and efficacy of transfusion practice.
