- The Critical Illness Survivorship Programme aims to humanize post-ICU care by integrating AI with person-centered recovery strategies.
- Current ICU recovery models are inconsistent and often fail to address survivors' and families' needs for sense-making.
- The programme redefines recovery as both biological and narrative, using AI to create personalized ICU journey summaries.
- These summaries translate complex health data into accessible stories, visualizations, and audio outputs to aid emotional and cognitive recovery.
- The programme emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, trauma-informed communication, and co-design for compassionate technology integration.
- Future research should explore the feasibility, ethical oversight, and educational implications of the programme in clinical settings.
