Our Programs
Patient Safety and AI
Every year over 200,000 people die in the USA alone due to preventable medical error. These rates are much higher in low- and middle-income countries, with well over 2,600,000 deaths per year. Research has shown that hospitals and healthcare practices struggle to maintain good risk management practices, with overworked clinicians rarely having the bandwidth to adopt more rigorous protocol. However, AI has the potential to automate what was previously a time-consuming task which often gets sidelined in busy hospitals. Our Patient Safety and AI program seeks to understand how AI can be used to manage patient safety and to guide industry leaders in the development of effective solutions which vulnerable lives.
