New Collaboration Opportunity in AI is recruiting industry partners

You are invited to follow the new Accessible Healthcare for AI-Augmented Decisions (AHeAD) Center page, a proposed National Science Foundation Industry-University Cooperative Research Center.

The center is a collaborative effort involving the Enroll University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Tulane University, the University of Florida, Georgia Tech, and Tampere University.

Our mission is to address technology gaps and create best practices to create usable AI-based healthcare decision-support tools for everyone.

AI has the potential to make healthcare more personalized, affordable, and accessible by automating routine tasks, predicting patient risks, and enabling remote care delivery. However, bringing into health systems faces many technical, ethical, and logistical challenges, including data privacy concerns, clinical safety, algorithmic bias, and seamless integration with existing workflows.

AHeAD is currently recruiting companies to join this collaboration. Partner with us to create next-generation AI-augmented healthcare decision-support tools for your organization.

Please contact Raju Gottumukkala, PhD ([email protected]), or visit nsfahead.org.

The Communities of Interest event on AI is tomorrow at LITE starting at 1 p.m. If you can't make it in person, no problem! Tune in on Facebook!
The event will be live on the UL Lafayette Research page starting at 1 p.m.
