AHA Collab: NIA Collaboratories for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Healthy Aging

项目摘要/摘要 Rose Li&Associates，Inc.(RLA)建议建立“NIA人工智能协作室和 健康老龄化“或AHA协作中心-一个协调中心，开展一系列补充活动以 扩大人工智能和老龄化研究技术协作组的集体影响力 (AITCs)改善美国老年人的护理和健康结果，包括痴呆症患者(PWD) 和他们的照顾者。基于RLA卓越的研究/活动管理、计划的声誉 协调和通信支持服务，AHA合作实验室承诺将美国建立为 老龄化创新中的国家连接器，促进人工智能研究中的更大多样性和包容性，并对抗偏见 在个人数据和机器学习算法中尽可能地，并在这个过程中，改善生活 数以百万计的美国老年人。AHA上的研究经理和业务开发专业人员 合作团队将努力扩大NIA AITCs的生产率和影响力。AHA合作实验室将利用 其他资源，以促进研究人员、政策制定者、开发人员和实践者之间的讨论 并将提供与技术和业务各个方面相关的总体支持和建议 发展，包括道德、监管和支付者环境的导航、扩展、传播和 商业化。具体目标是：(1)成为全国人工智能和老龄化研究的枢纽和催化剂 通过将学术界、卫生界、企业界、工业界和政府聚集在一起来确保 成功地将研究转化为应用；(2)创造协调、沟通和 与AITCs、NIA和相关的NIA研究中心以及更广泛的科学界合作； 以及(3)实施强大的国家基础设施，以实现和评估多样化和多方面的 AHA合作实验室的责任。这一国家基础设施将包括吸引试点项目的能力 申请和管理试点项目的竞争过程；通过 AHA-提供资源和指导以帮助试点项目实现其商业和/或 采用潜力；推出一个用户友好和吸引人的网站，作为人工智能和 健康老龄化；为AI和健康老龄化创新者提供网络、共享和学习平台 自由协作；创建营销引擎以促进试点项目竞赛、研讨会和行业 取得成就；制作实体和虚拟会议和活动；以及制定评价计划 对于AHA协作实验室，具有基线和进度指标。将AHA协作室打造为动态枢纽 学术筒仓之外的创业心态将为卓有成效的企业带来兴奋和动力 合作和示范将产生更大的影响，并将充分加强亚洲贸易中心的成功。

Project Summary/Abstract Rose Li & Associates, Inc. (RLA) proposes to establish the “NIA Collaboratories for Artificial Intelligence and Healthy Aging” or AHA Collab—a coordinating center to undertake a complementary set of activities to multiply the collective impact of the Artificial Intelligence and Technology Collaboratories for Aging Research (AITCs) to improve care and health outcomes for older Americans, including persons with dementia (PWD) and their caregivers. Building on RLA’s reputation for exceptional research/event management, program coordination, and communications support services, AHA Collab promises to establish the United States as a national connector in aging innovation, promote greater diversity and inclusion in AI research, and counter bias in personal data and machine learning algorithms wherever possible, and in the process, improve the lives of millions of older Americans. The research managers and business development professionals on the AHA Collab team will work to magnify the productivity and impact of the NIA AITCs. AHA Collab will leverage additional resources to facilitate discourse among researchers, policymakers, developers, and practitioners and will provide overarching support and advice related to all aspects of technology and business development, including ethics, navigating the regulatory and payor landscape, scaling, dissemination, and commercialization. Specific Aims are to (1) Become a national hub and catalyst for AI and aging research and development by bringing together the worlds of academia, health, venture, industry, and government to ensure the successful translation of research to application; (2) Create a culture of coordination, communication, and collaboration with the AITCs, NIA, and relevant NIA research centers and the broader scientific community; and (3) Implement a robust national infrastructure to accomplish and evaluate the diverse and multifaceted responsibilities of AHA Collab. This national infrastructure will include capabilities for attracting pilot project applications and managing the competition process for pilot projects; incubating ideas and projects through the AHA-Combinator that provide resources and mentorship to help pilot projects realize their commercial and/or adoption potential; launching a user-friendly and engaging website to serve as a national resource for AI and Healthy Aging; hosting a networking, sharing, and learning platform for AI and healthy aging innovators to collaborate freely; creating a marketing engine to promote pilot project competitions, workshops, and industry achievements; producing both physical and virtual meetings and events; and establishing an evaluation plan for AHA Collab with baseline and progress metrics. Establishing AHA Collab as a dynamic hub with an entrepreneurial startup mentality outside of academic silos will generate excitement and impetus for fruitful collaborations and demonstrations of heightened impact, and will fully potentiate the success of the AITCs.
