AI at Mount Sinai

At the Mount Sinai Health System, our commitment to leveraging AI is rooted in its proven capacity to help us save lives. Well before it entered popular culture, we understood its potential to improve patient outcomes and invested in research, education, and clinical initiatives to support our physicians and scientists at critical moments, enabling them to deliver better, more informed care.

We were the first in the United States to establish a medical school department focused solely on the development of patient-centered AI tools, education, and resources. We have continuously increased our ability to compute vast amounts of diverse clinical data to offer insights to our physicians in real time. We are expanding our internal and external partnerships to further enhance our AI efforts, not just for the benefit of our own patients, but to make health care more accessible across the world.

To ensure that our AI efforts embrace the Health System’s legacy of social justice, we established a governance structure that proactively identifies risks and provides ongoing oversight of our AI-related efforts. Our mission is clear: to keep the use of this technology in clinical care safe, effective, ethical, responsible, and secure. We invite you to explore how we are harnessing this new technology to support us as we continue providing exceptional medical care to local and global communities.

Human-Led, Human-Centered AI

The Windreich Department of Artificial Intelligence and Human Health at Mount Sinai embraces the promise of AI to fundamentally revolutionize health care. By enabling us to develop more accurate diagnoses, expedite drug discovery, and deliver more personalized treatment, we transform those opportunities into real patient results.

Our Department benefits from a state-of-the-art facility situated in the center of The Mount Sinai Hospital campus. The Hamilton and Amabel James Center for Artificial Intelligence houses all AI research initiatives and contains large supercomputers with cloud computing database capabilities. In addition to enabling the integration of our research within the patient care process, it supports our faculty as they collaborate with clinicians across the Mount Sinai Health System.

We are also dedicated to increasing the understanding of ethical AI use through a variety of educational forums, including our informal sessions open to the entire Health System, as well as our formal doctoral program, open to applicants from across the globe. Currently we are seeking promising early to mid-career candidates with an excellent track record in computer science, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to join our faculty.

Created in 2017, the Clinical Data Science team has built a powerful real-time streaming clinical data platform that brings the power of machine learning and AI to improve provider awareness and enable timely intervention for a wide variety of clinical conditions. Led by experts in data science, machine learning, bioethics and patient care, the team is responsible for the development and deployment of several AI initiatives throughout the Mount Sinai Hospital System, including innovations in malnourishment diagnosis and the detection of pressure injuries.

Throughout the Mount Sinai Health System, Digital Technology Partners (DTP) invites every team member to contribute to our patient-centered AI initiatives. From ideation to deployment and monitoring, our approach helps to ensure that each AI solution we develop not only pushes the boundaries of medical science, but also upholds the highest standards of ethics and patient care.

Do you have an idea for an artificial intelligence product or solution? We welcome you to submit your idea using the AI Idea Intake Form, available in Service Now. Your proposal will be reviewed, evaluated, and prioritized by the appropriate members of our AI governance structure. To support a smooth and efficient intake process, please review our guidelines of requirements and qualifications.

At the Mount Sinai Health System, we believe in a human-led, human-centered partnership with artificial intelligence (AI). While our researchers use AI to maximize disease identification and management, our care teams remain at the helm, making critical decisions and providing expert treatment. This synergy between human expertise and AI technology is helping us to uncover new insights and ultimately save more lives.
