The technology surrounding AI for health is evolving quickly, and academic institutions, health systems, industry, and government bodies are making financial investments to enable scientists and clinicians to adopt these tools more widely.
While many federal funders and some philanthropic organizations are currently focused on using these tools to understand disease mechanisms, there is a need to ensure tools are being used intentionally and strategically for the long-term benefit of human health. There are many opportunities on the horizon to expand open-data initiatives, facilitate how AI tools are integrated to advance health, and fund the expansion of AI tools across all stages of medicine.
SPARC’s Funders for AI in Health is a cohort of philanthropic leaders who invest in biomedical research and wish to accelerate the path to progress using the transformative potential of AI.
