Having recently observed AKI requiring hospitalization - I think spotting this is only small and IMO not very useful. In fact even spotting a cause of AKI (eg heart failure) is also not particularly eye opening.

A better system (perhaps not even using much AI, whatever that is, and just use basic rules and ML techniques) would be helping physicians monitor and come up with treatment suggestions and outcome prwdictions for a specific patient based on their particular vitals/history. E.g provide a suggestion to physician that heart failure causing aki could be treated by crtp pacemaker bc cf rate is within a range for this particular patient - so they should talk to cardiologist/surgeon immediately.
