The future of Intensive Care
This podcast explores how innovation is reshaping intensive care, from artificial intelligence and data-driven decision support to new approaches in education and care delivery. It examines how these advances are turning the ICU into a hub for medical innovation. The show also considers the practical challenge of helping clinicians trust, interpret, and integrate new technologies into daily practice.

Conceptualising future AI in education and patient safety
In this podcast episode, the last of the ESICM podcast series on Innovation in Intensive Care, we explore the transformative role of artificial intelligence in healthcare education and clinical practice. The discussion covers the impact of AI on clinical decision-making, the risks of deskilling, the future of personalised learning, AI-enhanced simulation, the potential of virtual and augmented rea
Innovation in mechanical ventilation goes beyond the machine
Mechanical ventilation remains a cornerstone of intensive care, but innovation in this field now extends far beyond the ventilator itself. Today, advances in monitoring, data analytics, decision-support systems, and artificial intelligence are transforming the way clinicians manage critically ill patients.How can these technologies help us deliver more personalised and effective care? And where do
Hybrid AI for trustworthy decision-making, integrating data-driven and knowledge-driven approaches
What kind of intelligence are we bringing into the ICU—and how can it support, rather than replace, clinicians?As AI and data-driven tools become part of everyday intensive care, clinicians must learn how to integrate these technologies into their decision-making. But what is required to build trust in these models? Do they need to be fully explainable, biologically plausible, or demonstrate causa
Large language models in the ICU
Is artificial intelligence about to transform the ICU?In this new episode of the Future of Intensive Care podcast series, we dive into the rapidly evolving world of large language models and their growing impact on intensive care practice. From clinical decision-making and risk recognition to the future relationship between clinicians and AI, what could these technologies really mean for the ICU?J
Current state of AI in health and healthcare
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare—but what does it really mean for the intensive Care Unit (ICU)? In this episode, we are honoured to welcome Prof. Derek Angus, who explores the challenges of integrating AI into clinical practice, the barriers slowing its adoption in intensive care, and its potential impact on the healthcare workforce.Will AI replace clinicians, reshape roles
Healthcare crisis: can innovation be the answer?
Can innovation really transform the future of intensive care?Join the first episode of the ESICM podcast series, The Future of Intensive Care. Prof. Maurizio Cecconi joins Dr Massimiliano Greco to explore how innovation can address key healthcare challenges—from workforce shortages to sustainability pressures.Moving beyond the buzzword, this episode unpacks what meaningful innovation looks like in
