Strategic Planning

PRIMED-AI Concept Planning

The NIH is conducting planning activities to inform a potential Common Fund research program called Precision Medicine with AI: Integrating Imaging with Multimodal Data (PRIMED-AI). This program concept is aimed at harnessing advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to enable integration of clinical imaging data with a variety of other health data to support the clinical decision-making process. Such a program would transform disease prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

PRIMED-AI Concept Public Input

The Common Fund recently issued a request for information (RFI) to identify high priority challenges and opportunities in developing trustworthy, cost-effective, accessible, ethical, and sustainable precision medicine AI algorithms that integrate medical images with other patient-related data to support clinical decision making. Community input is requested on:  

• Imaging and related multimodal data integration approaches, 
• Developing AI-based clinical decision support tools that leverage clinical imaging and multimodal data integration, 
• Demonstrating clinical utility of multimodal algorithms for precision medicine.   

Responses were collected up through September 23, 2024. A summary of responses is being prepared.
