Teladoc Health is introducing an AI-powered tool aimed at reducing violence in hospitals. The new technology uses a patient's electronic health record to predict the likelihood of aggressive behavior. This proactive approach allows healthcare providers to implement de-escalation strategies before a situation becomes violent. The goal is to improve the safety of both hospital staff and patients in high-stress environments.
