Summary
Yale New Haven Health System has introduced the Health AI Championship to stimulate innovation in healthcare-focused artificial intelligence by leveraging insights from within health systems. Led by Dr. Lee Schwamm, the competition focuses on tackling genuine clinical challenges with proposals sponsored by employees from Connecticut’s major health systems, ensuring alignment with real healthcare needs. While collaborations with startups are allowed, they must show a credible partnership with health systems. The initiative includes a transparent judging process that combines internal health system rankings with assessments from external judges, promoting trust and collaboration within the healthcare community. Winning projects will receive funding and the chance to validate AI models using real data from Yale’s health system.
