House Health Subcommittee Holds Hearing on AI Applications Across US Health Care

Congressman Morgan Griffith, Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health, led a hearing focused on the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in American healthcare. The hearing highlighted how AI is currently empowering patients, supporting healthcare providers, and reducing administrative burdens, with applications ranging from drug discovery to personalized treatment and claims processing. Clover Health CEO Andrew Toy testified about his company's AI platform, which enhances care coordination especially for seniors in underserved areas, demonstrating measurable improvements in patient outcomes and cost reductions. Lawmakers emphasized the importance of continued congressional oversight to ensure AI serves as an aid rather than a replacement for the clinical workforce. The hearing underscored AI’s role in expediting scientific research, clinical trials, and improving patient experiences. Committee leaders framed the event as part of ongoing efforts to explore and harness AI technologies to innovate healthcare delivery and benefit the American public.
