Don't judge me. I am not an ML expert. I am just wondering how this is an AI or ML thing. Is it not match the threshold of WBC in the body, if it is above or below the range, generate an alert. Can any ML guy tell me how this system is actually working?

I don't know the details, but I suspect its a bit more. Probably takes as input all of the factors over a time series and then determines based on these inputs over time there is a higher likelihood of Y. When that likelihood reaches some threshold it sends an alert to the nurse. It's almost certainly not as simple as temperature at 105 -> alert (although a temp of 105, would certainly signal a problem).
