The HEALTH AI Act directs the National Institutes of Health to create a grant program funding research on how generative artificial intelligence can be used in healthcare settings. The grants would support studies examining AI applications such as helping doctors write patient notes more efficiently, reducing administrative burden on clinicians, speeding up insurance claims processing, and improving customer service in healthcare. Eligible applicants include colleges and universities, nonprofit organizations, and federal, state, and local government agencies. The bill prioritizes grants to organizations that focus on deploying AI across the healthcare system, developing workforce skills, reducing clinician burnout, addressing health disparities among racial and ethnic groups, and improving care for underserved populations. The legislation does not specify funding amounts or implementation timelines.
