A pair of Penn State Harrisburg faculty have been awarded funding to establish a research lab focused on using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to improve health care access and outcomes.
Md Faisal Kabir, assistant professor of computer science, and Sara Imanpour, assistant professor of health administration, were awarded $100,000 through the AIM-AHEAD Program for Artificial Intelligence Readiness (PAIR) program, funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
The PAIR program aims to enhance AI readiness among institutions across the nation, providing training to effectively leverage resources to initiate AI projects, advance health research through improved grant writing skills and foster collaboration by establishing institutional connections with AI/ML health research labs.
