About Us

Vision:

The democratization of Generative AI is transforming medical education and healthcare, paving the way for equitable healthcare through the convergence of GenAI and LHS.

Healthcare is far from equitable, with many individuals around the world not receiving the standard of care they need. One key reason is the shortage of medical professionals, particularly in low-income regions. Artificial intelligence (AI), especially machine learning (ML), offers potential solutions to bridge this gap and transform healthcare into equitable learning health systems (LHS). The most promising breakthrough is generative AI (GenAI), exemplified by ChatGPT-4, which became widely available to the public in 2023. It is clear to us that GenAI has the intrinsic power to democratize AI in healthcare, breaking down barriers to high-quality care and enabling equitable healthcare globally. We believe that the vision of learning health systems (LHS), created by the U.S. National Academy of Medicine, provides the necessary structure for integrating GenAI into healthcare. As highlighted in our JHMHP review paper, we envision the future convergence of GenAI and LHS. Our new concept of ML-LHS units, published in Nature Sci. Rep., will accelerate this convergence.   

Mission:

Democratizing Generative AI in Healthcare to build equitable learning health systems, helping achieve global health equity.

The ELHS Institute educates healthcare communities about the ongoing democratization of GenAI and LHS, preparing the next generation of GenAI-empowered healthcare professionals. We conduct innovative health system sciences research to advance the theories and practices of new predictive healthcare within equitable learning health systems (ELHS). Based on our research, we provide new tools on the ELHS GenAI Copilot Platform and assist medical students, doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals in easily training their GenAI copilots using open-source large language models (LLMs) to optimize clinical learning and practice.

 

To successfully carry out our mission, we provide the following services to global healthcare communities:

  • Free training on GenAI and LHS.

  • Free access to the GenAI copilot platform and free trial of personal LLM copilots.

  • Technical services for deploying open-source LLMs, fine-tuning LLMs, and customizing copilots.

  • Healthcare GenAI research support and publication.
