Connecticut Health AI Collaborative
Bringing Practical AI to Healthcare Professionals Across Connecticut
Our mission is to bring together healthcare professionals, AI experts, policymakers, and visionaries from around the state of Connecticut to develop groundbreaking applications that enhance diagnostics, revolutionize patient care, optimize medical processes, and reduce costs.
Operating within the guidelines of the national Coalition for Health AI, the FDA’s Community Collaborative and Software as a Medical Device frameworks, the Collaborative will prioritize inclusivity, transparency, and coordination to ensure the highest standards of ethical and regulatory compliance. Together, we aim to revolutionize healthcare and create a healthier future for the citizens of Connecticut.
Fall 2025 Relaunch
Powered by Real-World Innovation
Welcome Back
After a quiet few months, the CT Health AI Collaborative returns this fall with a sharp focus: empowering Connecticut’s healthcare professionals to understand and apply AI in practical, ethical, and immediately useful ways.
Why now?
This summer, we worked on building a collaboration with Makerere Infectious Diseases Institute, Kampala, Uganda.
The goal of the collaboration is the creation of an AI Center of Excellence in Uganda — a WHO standard: GI-AI4H aligned initiative delivering AI-driven diagnostics, training, and public health support to frontline clinics and Community Health Workers in Uganda. This experience has reminded us how powerful simple, well-implemented AI can be. We’re bringing that same clarity and urgency back to Connecticut. We believe AI should amplify human care, not replace it. Let’s build that future together.
Global Inspiration, Local Impact
Our team’s recent work helping with AI Center of Excellence in Uganda—built to WHO guidelines—reminded us that impactful AI doesn’t require massive infrastructure.
It requires:
- Clear use cases
- Practical training
- Communities that learn and build together
That’s what we’re creating here, across Connecticut.
