Our journey has led us to rebrand & refocus as the Foundation for AI & Health, a 501c3 nonprofit organization. We're on a mission to catalyze transformative health solutions by connecting diverse skillsets, competencies, and sectors. We envision a future of personalized health by sparking imagination and exploration of responsible AI in healthcare. To do that we invite you to check out our new website, https://faih.org/, where you'll find new ways to get involved, a FREE scale for the assessment of non-experts’ AI literacy (SNAIL), links to sign up for our new-and-improved newsletter, and more as we continue growing our presence throughout this summer. Stay tuned for our upcoming announcement webinar, podcast, and events.

Join us for a FREE webinar on race as a variable in health AI. Hear from leading industry experts, Seun Ross, DNP, MS, CRNP-F, NP-C, Matthew Engelhard, Malaika Simmons, and Ivan Cáceres on how AI has, is, and may yet impact minority populations. They will discuss a recent study by Penn Medicine ( https://lnkd.in/eXAcxQWb ) on race as a variable, and how it often serves as a proxy for better variables. AI offers unparalleled efficiencies, prediction accuracies, and personalization for patient care, while simultaneously elongating the shadow of racism that has been embedded into healthcare services. Technologies built on historic data unwittingly amplify existing biases, which can worsen discriminatory outcomes in treatment, diagnostic accuracy for underrepresented populations, and access to care. One variable, race, has been a source of controversy in the algorithms used to determine medical care. In some cases it has been used to align limited resources to those who needed it, and in others it has delayed or prevented care to the same populations.

Join us TODAY for a panel discussion on race as a variable for health AI. Meet one of our speakers; Ivan Cáceres, acting Chief Artificial Intelligence (AI) Officer for National Alliance against Disparities in Patient Health (NADPH), a nonprofit, health research organization applying scientific research & technology to reduce health disparities & improve public health outcomes. He spent over 10 years at Northrop Grumman performing applied research & development, primarily focusing on reinforcement learning, with 13 trade secret innovations & two active patent applications. He received his Ph.D. in BioE from Georgia Tech. #healthai #healthequity #biasinai #responsibleai #dei

Join us tomorrow for a free, live discussion on race as a variable for health AI. Meet one of our speakers; Seun Ross, DNP, MS, CRNP-F, NP-C, the Executive Director of Health Equity at Independence Blue Cross. She has the responsibility to craft and implement a strategy that achieves health justice for all IBC members and the communities they live in. With her leadership, IBC has established condition specific goals to reduce inequities through a Regional Coalition to Eliminate Race Based Medicine that includes all the PA5 health systems and contiguous counties. #healthai #healthequity #biasinai #responsibleai #dei

Join us next week for a free, live discussion on race as a variable for health AI. Meet one of our speakers; Matthew Engelhard, an Assistant Professor of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics in the Duke University School of Medicine. He received his MD and PhD from the University of Virginia. before completing his postdoc at Duke. Dr. Engelhard develops machine learning methods for next generation clinical decision support systems, including methods to identify and mitigate algorithmic bias. #healthai #healthequity #biasinai #responsibleai #dei

Meet Malaika Simmons, one of our panelists next week. She is the Chief Operating Officer for the National Alliance against Disparities in Patient Health (NADPH), a data-driven nonprofit health research organization. She uses her background in research, psychology, and design thinking to promote empathy-based leadership with over 20 years of experience in corporate policy, training, and program management, operating at the convergence of health research, IT, and consumer issues.?Malaika has coauthored several reports and articles focused on the importance of the inclusion of people with lived experiences in developing health data ecosystems and responsible AI.
