By bringing together stakeholders from industry, government, academia, and finance, AAIH seeks to foster changes that result in the best outcomes for patients.
“Over the last few years, we have seen almost limitless opportunities for AI to disrupt all points of the healthcare spectrum — from medical records to drug discovery. But we need to focus on where we can have the most tangible impact now and what to work towards in the long term,” said Brandon Allgood, Ph.D., Chief AI Officer, Valo Health, and chairperson of AAIH. “We are excited to welcome such well-recognized thought leaders and look forward to hearing their perspectives on how we can make a more substantial impact in the use of AI technologies.”
In 2021, AAIH established four primary focus areas as the most immediate priorities: (1) Data Access, Quality, and Usability; (2) Fairness and Equity in the Application of AI; (3) Establishing an Effective Regulatory Framework; (4) Data and Technology Standards for AI/ML. Working groups have been stood up and progress reports are planned throughout the remainder of the year. Those interested in participating should direct membership inquiries to info@theaaih.org.
In Summer 2021, AAIH will host its second annual “IMAGINE: AI + Healthcare Leadership Summit,” which convenes global thought leaders to tackle key issues and elucidate promising opportunities towards the shared mission.
