New York City-based Hospital for Special Surgery received support from Schmidt Futures to advance artificial intelligence and machine learning efforts, according to a Nov. 16 news release.
HSS plans to create the largest curated musculoskeletal data ecosystem and make it available to interdisciplinary researchers. The Schmidt Futures' gift will be dedicated to creating the HSS Data Innovation Lab.
"The future of musculoskeletal care delivery will be driven by expertise increasingly augmented with data and technology to expand access, monitor musculoskeletal health, study movement, and prevent disease," HSS Chief Performance Officer Scott DeNegre said in the release. "We have a timely opportunity to marry the foremost experts in medicine, data science, and technology to design a better system of care."
