This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $1,281,509 to the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) to acquire a GPU cluster for accelerating HIPAA-compliant, data-driven research and artificial intelligence (AI) applications in healthcare. The GPU cluster enables UIC researchers to develop and utilize computationally-intensive AI models for a variety of health-related research projects and applications. This includes leveraging the vast amount of data available from the UI Health system to conduct HIPAA-compliant data analysis and modeling, with the goal of refining health treatments and improving health outcomes, particularly for underrepresented populations. The instrument serves as a catalyst for leading-edge, cross-disciplinary research at the intersection of AI and healthcare/medicine. Key focus areas include knowledge extraction from electronic health records, language-guided health monitoring, opioid risk detection, ophthalmic disease detection, age-related macular degeneration prognostication, and cancer detection using graph neural networks.
