Bill > HR5045

This bill, known as the HEALTH AI Act, directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish a grant program to support research on generative artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare. The program will provide funding to eligible entities such as universities, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies to conduct research exploring how generative AI can improve healthcare practices. Specifically, the grants can support research aimed at helping healthcare practitioners record more comprehensive patient notes, reduce administrative burdens, speed up insurance claims processing, improve customer service, and enhance overall healthcare delivery. When awarding grants, the Secretary will prioritize projects that encourage AI adoption, invest in workforce development, mitigate clinician burnout, reduce healthcare disparities, and improve care for medically underserved populations. The bill defines key terms like generative AI (which creates content in response to prompts) and provides a clear framework for research funding that seeks to leverage AI technologies to address critical challenges in the healthcare sector.
