CMS Names ClosedLoop.ai a Finalist in $1.6 Million AI Health Challenge

ClosedLoop.ai, Healthcare’s Data Science Platform, has been selected as a top 7 finalist in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Artificial Intelligence (AI) Health Outcomes Challenge. The $1.6 million dollar contest was launched in March 2019 by the CMS Innovation Center in collaboration with the American Academy of Family Physicians and the Laura and John Arnold Foundation with the aim of developing AI-driven predictions for healthcare providers and clinicians.

The Challenge was created as an opportunity for innovators to demonstrate how AI tools can be used to predict unplanned hospital and skilled nursing facility admissions and adverse events. The goal was to predict near-term unplanned hospital and SNF admissions and adverse events for Medicare beneficiaries. In addition, solutions were to include innovative approaches to explaining the predictions to clinicians and patients in ways that would aid in providing appropriate clinical resources and in generating feedback for quality improvement activities.

We look forward to seeing what’s in store from this top notch group of innovators.”
