Healthcare systems see significant promise in AI for improving care delivery and controlling costs, yet face significant barriers to safe and effective implementation, including concerns about AI accuracy, patient safety, and integration with health system workflows.

The successful funding of the initial planning grant to create the center was announced by the University of Louisiana (UL) at Lafayette, Tulane University and the Georgia Institute of Technology.
NSF AHeAD brings together university researchers with healthcare organizations and technologists to address barriers to deploying AI-augmented decision support tools that enhance healthcare delivery, improve patient outcomes, and reduce costs. Read full story
