The health system collaborated with Amazon Web Services to develop Project Heal, which employs AI and machine learning to detect emerging public health misinformation and score its threat to human health. The platform can then generate responses tailored to different demographics and communities.
“Project Heal will allow public health officials to more efficiently manage workloads and shift from reactivity to proactivity,” according to an April 17 Amazon blog post whose authors include Ashish Atreja, MD, chief information and digital health officer of UC Davis Health, and Keisuke Nakagawa, MD, executive director of the UC Davis Health Cloud Innovation Center. “The resulting community education on health misinformation trends will also improve patient outcomes and empower individuals to make more informed decisions about their health.”
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and University of Pittsburgh have also contributed to the project.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
