UCSF and UCSF Health Receive Pivotal Donation to Support the First Continuous AI-monitoring Platform in Clinical Care
The UCSF Division of Clinical Informatics and Digital Transformation (DoC-IT) and UCSF Health have received a $5 million gift from Ken and Kathy Hao to develop a cutting-edge, real-time, continuous, and automated artificial intelligence (AI) monitoring platform for clinical care.
The Impact Monitoring Platform for AI in Clinical Care (IMPACC) aims to bridge the gap between the rapid evolution of AI technologies used by clinicians and the essential need for robust, ongoing assessment of their efficacy, safety, and equity.
Julia Adler-Milstein, PhD, chief of the UCSF Division of Clinical Informatics and Digital Transformation (DoC-IT), and Sara Murray, MD, MAS, chief health AI officer at UCSF Health, will lead the pioneering collaboration.
“This philanthropic gift is transformative in many ways,” said Adler-Milstein. “It comes at a critical juncture as the healthcare industry more broadly integrates AI into clinical practice. Through IMPACC and this collaborative effort, we are poised to improve patient care at UCSF while advancing the science of how to assess AI tools in real-world use.”
Currently, the healthcare field lacks established protocols for ongoing AI monitoring, leading to risks of adverse outcomes for patients and healthcare providers that go undetected. While assessments are conducted to determine the suitability of new AI technologies for safe integration into clinical environments before deployment, once they are deployed, health systems need a way to promptly identify any issues in their real-world performance.
IMPACC will fill this urgent need by shifting from planned, periodic, manual monitoring of a focused set of measures to real-time, continuous, automated, and longitudinal monitoring across a broad measure set with specified criteria for escalation to human review and intervention.
