The Community Impact Policy Institute's recent report explored how AI investment can strengthen prevention and boost public health outcomes.
Preventative care has historically delivered some of the highest returns in health investment, yet capital flowing into health AI is largely missing this opportunity. Current analyses find that less than 1% of health AI funding goes toward prevention and public health.
CIPI's report outlines eight recommendations for building an investment case aimed at the actors that could influence the direction of health AI. Closing this gap between AI investment and prevention could have an major impact on public health outcomes.
