The family of a 32-year-old patient in Minas Gerais, Brazil, alleged that Core-MG, an AI-assisted hospital-bed allocation system, understated her condition and delayed intensive care. Her sister said the severity score impeded reprioritization. The patient died hours after transfer. The state health department denied a system failure in her case and said physicians assessed patients according to clinical need and bed availability.
