Florida State University experts Zhe He and Delaney La Rosa are available to speak with media about the expanding use of Artificial Intelligence in health care following a Sept. 3 U.S. House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health hearing on advancing American health care through the technology. The article notes broad institutional support for Artificial Intelligence in medicine, including advocacy from the American Medical Association, and outlines practical uses such as improving diagnostic accuracy, surgical precision, personalized treatment and remote patient monitoring.
Zhe He, a professor in the College of Communication and Information and director of the Institute for Successful Longevity, conducts research at the intersection of biomedical and health informatics, Artificial Intelligence and big data analytics. His work includes studies on Artificial Intelligence’s role in differential diagnosis, interpreting medical images, streamlining operations and supporting remote monitoring. He highlighted tools that analyze electronic health records and medical images and cited applications that predict diagnosis, mortality and readmissions while extending clinicians’ reach. He is an elected fellow of the International Academy of Health Sciences Informatics and the American Medical Informatics Association. He is also developing LabGenie, a generative Artificial Intelligence system to help older adults and caregivers interpret lab results and generate personalized clinician questions.
Delaney La Rosa, a teaching professor in the College of Nursing, focuses on ethical, human-centered integration of Artificial Intelligence into nursing education and clinical practice. The college offers a degree in health care Artificial Intelligence and is launching a microcredential and postgraduate certificate called Nursing Essentials of Responsible AI to prepare workforce-ready graduates. La Rosa described how Artificial Intelligence can identify patients at risk of decline or sepsis and support rural clinics by using population-level data to target preventive programs. She also leads an industry and academic consortium, which will hold the Nursing and AI Innovation Consortium launch summit in Orlando on Sept. 17.
