CRITICAL: Collaborative Resource for Intensive care Translational science, Informatics, Comprehensive Analytics, and Learning

Translational research in Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been hindered by the lack of shared data resources with sufficient depth, breadth and diversity. There are very limited EHR datasets freely available to the general research community especially the AI research community through credential-based access. We aim to establish a large cross-CTSA collaborative critical care data sharing by leveraging the existing CTSA collaborative networks. With the diversified racial, ethnic and geographic profiles from the above CTSAs, we will be able to support fair and generalizable algorithms for advanced patient monitoring and decision support. The proposed project will provide best practice guidance to and set up exemplary examples for nationwide CTSAs. It will also support the cultivation of next generation medical AI researchers.
