The Johns Hopkins Artificial Intelligence and Technology Collaboratory for Aging Research (JH AITC) is a national resource funded to promote the development and implementation of novel artificial intelligence (AI) and technology approaches to improve the health and well-being of older adults. Building on the wealth of engineering and clinical resources available across the schools of the Johns Hopkins University, we have established the human capital and research infrastructure that will facilitate investigators and businesses from across the country to work in this space.

‍

JH AITC provides pilot funds for AI/tech development efforts as well as access to relevant stakeholders groups, tech and AI use design expertise, assistance with adaptation of technology platforms that can host electronic health records (EHRs), data gathering and analytical expertise, human subjects research infrastructure for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) related conditions and for general aging/geriatric medicine conditions. In addition, we can provide a comprehensive list of relevant technologies and uses of AI, training as appropriate, and access to a broad array of human subjects research infrastructure for recruitment and testing. Finally, this AITC can facilitate access to a broad range of underserved older adults, including those in rural and urban areas of the United States, for stakeholder feedback and for testing of new uses of AI/tech that may improve their health and well-being.

The AITC is home to a dynamic ecosystem of clinicians, researchers, engineers, and business partners who are working together on AI-driven technologies to improve aging. The JH AITC leadership is comprised of:
