What You Should Know: 

– The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has unveiled the Center for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Children’s Health, an initiative that marks New York City’s first dedicated center focused on leveraging AI to transform pediatric healthcare. 

– The new center aims to transform children’s health outcomes through the development of AI-powered solutions for enhanced diagnostics, personalized treatments, and optimized care delivery for youth and adolescents.

Accelerate AI Research and Personalized Treatment in Children’s Health

The Center for Artificial Intelligence in Children’s Health is established under The Mindich Child Health and Development Institute, directed by Bruce D. Gelb, MD, and co-sponsored by the Windreich Department of Artificial Intelligence and Human Health at Mount Sinai, chaired by Girish N. Nadkarni, MD, MPH, CPH.  Leading this transformative endeavor is Benjamin S. Glicksberg, PhD, a distinguished expert in digital health and clinical informatics. Dr. Glicksberg will spearhead the Center’s efforts to bridge the gap between AI innovation and pediatric medicine. 

The Center will focus on overcoming the current limitations in AI application to children’s health by:

  • Building an AI-driven Children’s Health Data Hub: Unifying multi-modal and multi-omic patient data.
  • Spearheading Clinical Trials: Implementing AI approaches to enhance diagnostics, predictive modeling, and real-time monitoring at Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital.
  • Advancing Personalized Medicine: Utilizing multi-omics research, rare disease identification, and pharmacogenomics.
  • Optimizing Health Care Delivery: Collaborating with Mount Sinai’s Center for Child Health Services Research to leverage AI for improved efficiency, patient outcomes, and resource allocation.

Dr. Glicksberg, who will also serve as Associate Professor of Artificial Intelligence and Human Health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, highlighted the unique challenges in applying AI to pediatric care. “While AI has advanced at a remarkable pace in many areas of medicine, pediatric medicine has unfortunately lagged due to stricter privacy considerations, more complicated regulatory pathways, and limited data infrastructure. This new Center is dedicated to addressing these challenges by safely developing, testing, and embedding AI directly into child health care—enabling earlier diagnoses, preventive measures, computer-augmented imaging for complex conditions, expedited drug discovery, and highly personalized treatment plans. There’s no better place for this effort than Mount Sinai, or a more talented team of researchers to innovate alongside. I’m thrilled to lead this critical work and confident that we’re shaping a brighter future for child health care.”
