The Future of Health Starts Here: New Center for Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare – Hartford HealthCare Launches Center for Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
February 19. 2024 | Seeking to harness the transformative power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to safely enhance patient care, Hartford HealthCare has unveiled its Center for AI Innovation in Healthcare. The Center is the first of its kind in New England, and one of only a few in the United States.
The Center, a culmination of ongoing collaborations with prestigious institutions like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, formalizes Hartford HealthCare’s dedication to AI advancements.
In collaboration with Professor Dimitris Bertsimas, Associate Dean of Analytics at MIT-Sloan, Hartford HealthCare Innovation developed a startup company, Holistic Hospital Optimization (H2O), which uses AI to help healthcare providers optimize the flow of patients and other hospital operations. H2O helps patients return home more quickly and safely, optimizes staff time spent with patients, and frees up space and services during times of peak demand.
The Center for AI Innovation in Healthcare is rooted in four core elements: research and development, education and training, collaboration and partnerships and ethical and regulatory guidelines.
Research initiatives
Many have been translated into clinical and operational practice, including:
- Predicting COVID-19 related events
- Predicting hospital length of stay
- Predicting patient deterioration
- Predicting transcatheter aortic valve surgery outcomes
- Predicting secondary stroke events
- Predicting joint replacement surgery outcomes
- Optimizing nurse scheduling
- Optimizing operating room efficiency
Hartford HealthCare has unveiled its Center for AI Innovation in Healthcare last week. The Center is the first of its kind in New England, and one of only a few in the United States. Learn more about The Center here.
