I know of at least one Canadian hospital that's incorporated ML into 100% of their ED triage. Sure it's not some state of the art deep learning architecture, but it's definitely a step above the old crop of heuristic-based systems you see so often in medical software. "Medical AI" is a stupid term that's been co-opted by more hucksters than legitimate practitioners, so I prefer to talk about more concrete (and less fanciful) applications like patient chart OCR or capacity forecasting.

Cool! Which hospital is that? Is the clinical staff happy with the results?

Personally, I've never seen any medical ML application that made my job easier. But it would be nice to see.
