In 2018 the AI Clinician suggested that reinforcement learning might solve one of the most common dilemmas in the ICU treatment of sepsis. We discuss attempts to move closer to bringing its theoretical performance into real-world testing, and go on to discuss more general issues of collaborative working between the worlds of engineering and healthcare.
