Yale New Haven Health’s Center for Health Care Innovation recently announced the Health AI Championship, a competition designed to showcase groundbreaking applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care.
The competition invites employees and faculty from hospitals and health systems in Connecticut to develop AI-driven solutions that address critical challenges in patient care and healthcare operations.
Up to eight winning proposals will receive funding, with up to $100,000 for first prize. The winning team will also be able to validate their solution at Yale New Haven Health, providing the opportunity for impact in a real-world clinical setting.
Six organizations have already committed to participating in the championship, including YNHHS, Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, Gaylord Hospital, Nuvance Health, Hartford HealthCare and UConn Health.
The Health AI Championship process will include:
- Initial selection of proposals by each participating institution
- Independent judging of the shortlist
- The National Conversation on Health AI Implementation Symposium where leaders will share perspectives on implementing responsible and trustworthy AI, and team finalists will pitch their projects to a panel of independent experts
