artificial intelligence

Veterans, clinicians, and researchers are invited to attend the VA's BRAIN Summit September 7-9 in Arlington, VA, free of cost

However, her interest in AI was “a mistake,” says Ciesielski. During her undergraduate fellowship at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the principal investigator assigned her to work on neural networks, thinking it was close to her major of neural engineering. As she learned more about neural networks, she became fascinated with AI’s blend of mathematics, statistics, and psychology.

VA Privacy Service hosts its third Speaker Series event of the year in recognition of Military Kids Day, April 15, 2022.

Doctors often stop a patient’s heart during a major cardiac surgery. In this situation, a perfusionist operates a heart-lung bypass machine. The machine supplies needed blood and oxygen to the patient, whose heart is on hiatus.

Virginia VA became the first hospital in the U.S. to use the GI Genius intelligent endoscopy module for colorectal screenings for Veterans.

The team looked at the records of Veterans already identified as high-risk by VA’s sophisticated Care Assessment Needs (CAN) calculator. The CAN tool provides a score reflecting a Veteran’s risk of hospitalization or death within a year.

Telestroke capabilities and artificial intelligence will increase the speed at which Veterans receive care when having a stroke.

Now, in what Strebel calls the “most significant” work in his seven-year VA career, he’s developed a tool that uses artificial intelligence to calculate the risk of a COVID-19 patient dying within 120 days of diagnosis. The hope is that clinicians can use those predictions to improve the treatment of their patients.

Army Veteran at Tennessee VA receives a new type of prosthetic leg that features a motor-powered microprocessor prosthetic knee that uses artificial intelligence and cutting-edge technology.

NAII and VHA IE's CTI is giving 12 weeks to organizations to develop solutions for some of VA’s most pressing problems through the NAII AI Tech Sprint.

Throughout the tech sprint, teams have unique access to in-house experts, useful feedback from VA clinicians and staff, and novel datasets. At the end of each sprint, projects are recognized at a "Demo Day" event, in Washington, D.C., with awards for top performers and potential opportunities for ongoing collaboration with VA.
