The money will be used to design, develop and test health tech solutions — such as wearables, big data, 3-D printing, telehealth and artificial intelligence and machine learning — in the real-world care setting of the VA before they’re scaled into clinical production. The VA provides healthcare to nearly 9 million veterans per year.

The Accelerating VA Innovation and Learning contract will focus on five areas: personalized care, data transformation, digital care, immersive technology and care and service delivery.

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.
