Cleveland Clinic’s New Center to Explore Innovative AI Applications

Building on its track record of medical innovation, the Cleveland Clinic is creating a new center for artificial intelligence designed to further collaboration and communication among physicians, researchers and data scientists. Healthcare IT News reports that the Center for Artificial Intelligence — a project of Cleveland Clinic Enterprise Analytics — will seek new and innovative applications of AI for diagnostics, disease prediction and treatment planning.

Researchers at the center already are developing new machine-learning models for more accurate clinical-decision support, quality improvement, predictions on length of stay, readmission risk and other use cases. Another initiative is focusing on oncology and how AI can enable personalized-outcomes prediction or boost the accuracy of computer-aided detection in pathology slides.
