With the goal of increasing widespread AI adoption, the nation's medical research agency aims to utilize important discoveries that improve health and save lives. NIH currently uses AI/ML in 27 of their institutes and centers, which includes the Office of the Director's 'Smart and Connected Health' initiative. (Slides 01, 02) + +NIH is also engaged in quantum information science research through the National Quantum Initiative to ensure researchers benefit from new technologies; and is also collaborating with the Department of Energy’s Advanced Scientific Computing Research Office to explore opportunities at the intersection of quantum computing, biomedical research, and data science. (Slide 19) + +Adoption of advanced physics based machine learning approaches using classical data generating and classical data processing systems has recently become a greater priority to many leading organizations. (Slide 04) With a Python based notebook, a quantum machine learning library, and classical hardware - further benefiting from the effects of quantum algorithms for medical dataset analysis remains a key area of research. (Slide 05) + +With that being said, there are now many resources available to Healthcare developers for further QML/QiML implementation. (Slide 17) Next steps include increasing the number of Human-QiML Team interactions, additional testing for efficacy, and further implementing real world data in a community setting while forming prospective standards.
