TLDR:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being used in healthcare to improve patient care and outcomes. Dartmouth Health and Dartmouth Cancer Center have launched the Dartmouth Center for Precision Health and Artificial Intelligence (CPHAI) to leverage AI for personalized healthcare. Dr. Saeed Hassanpour leads the team at CPHAI, focusing on developing AI-driven diagnostic tools and optimizing treatment strategies.
Summary:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing healthcare by making it more streamlined, accessible, and equitable. The Dartmouth Center for Precision Health and Artificial Intelligence (CPHAI) at Dartmouth College is at the forefront of utilizing AI to aggregate patient data and improve patient care and outcomes. Dr. Saeed Hassanpour, the director of CPHAI, emphasizes the importance of an interdisciplinary approach that combines advanced technology with a deep understanding of diverse health challenges and ethical considerations.
CPHAI’s research and innovations aim to advance precision health by personalizing healthcare through tailored treatments and disease prevention strategies based on an individual’s unique biology. The team at CPHAI is working on projects such as developing AI-driven diagnostic tools, optimizing treatment strategies, and analyzing biomedical data to inform public health policies.
While AI offers limitless capabilities, CPHAI is committed to ensuring the ethical use of AI in healthcare by implementing transparency, fairness, accountability, and privacy protection frameworks. By collaborating with Dartmouth’s Ethics Institute and other partners, CPHAI aims to address AI’s limitations and biases, improve transparency and privacy, and ensure equitable outcomes for all individuals.
Dr. Hassanpour predicts that CPHAI will continue to lead in AI research and contribute to New Hampshire’s growing healthcare technology industry. Through its comprehensive approach to precision health and artificial intelligence, CPHAI is paving the way for a future where AI enhances healthcare delivery while upholding ethical standards and promoting equitable outcomes for all.
