Mount Sinai Launches NYC's First AI Center for Children's Health

Mount Sinai Health System has launched the Center for Artificial Intelligence in Children's Health, the first dedicated center of its kind in New York City, aimed at transforming pediatric healthcare through AI technologies. The Center will develop AI-powered solutions to enhance diagnostics, personalize treatments, and optimize care delivery for children and adolescents, addressing current limitations in pediatric medicine. Dr. Benjamin Glicksberg, an expert in digital health and clinical informatics, will lead the initiative, which will also involve clinical trials at Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital to improve AI-driven diagnostics and predictive modeling. Officials emphasized that this center reflects Mount Sinai's commitment to integrating advanced technologies in healthcare, potentially reshaping children's health outcomes for generations. The initiative seeks to overcome challenges such as stricter privacy regulations and limited data infrastructure that have hindered AI advancements in pediatric care. Overall, the Center aims to provide a more precise and individualized approach to treatment for young patients.
