The Story

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Drugs customized to a person’s DNA. Streamlined hospital admissions for older adults with complex medical issues. Improved language development in children who are late talkers. A way to enhance surgical skills and patient outcomes.

Now underway at the University at Buffalo, these four projects spanning multiple disciplines are using artificial intelligence to enhance health care. Each was awarded $50,000 in UB’s first round of competitive interdisciplinary seed funding for AI research in health care.

The funding is being provided through a collaboration between the UB Office of the Vice President for Research and Economic Development and the Office of the Vice President for Health Sciences.
