Cardiac surgery, burn units, ICU, neuro come to mind. All have been studied to show mortality and complications improvements with AGC, but unfortunately the commercial technology has not materialized yet.

Why is a hospital setting so different that AGC can not be used? Or is the temporary use of such not yet approved?

Drug interference (with the sensor chemistry) and perfusion (which the sensor needs to function) are two major problems that a hospital presents that are not present in ambulatory (outside the hospital) use. Also the FDA has not approved any systems yet; the software is actually quite difficult to get right.
