HHS has emerged as a leading federal agency in artificial intelligence, spending nearly $129 million on AI-related purchases over the past five years. Major expenditures include $53 million by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Management and Budget, $32 million by the FDA, and $26 million by the NIH. These investments are aimed at enhancing data analysis and research capabilities in health care.
The use of AI technologies is transforming how HHS agencies operate, with significant contracts awarded to companies like Spectral MD and BelleTorus for innovative AI applications. For instance, Spectral MD's optical imaging devices are designed to classify burns, which is crucial for managing mass-casualty incidents. The ongoing focus on AI within HHS reflects a broader trend in the health care sector to leverage advanced technologies for improved patient outcomes.
