AI & Technology in Healthcare

Belmont Collaborative for Health Systems Innovation

Transforming Healthcare Through Innovation

At the Belmont Collaborative for Health Systems Science, we are forging dynamic partnerships with the most innovative companies in AI, machine learning, large language models, and advanced analytics—driving real change in healthcare. Our mission is to harness these technologies to improve outcomes, elevate the patient experience, and support healthcare professionals in delivering more effective, personalized care.

We believe that technology must do more than enhance the current system—it must redefine it. By integrating AI into the fabric of healthcare, we are shifting the focus from reactive sick care to proactive, lifelong health. Our work ensures that the entire healthcare journey is prioritized, empowering patients as active participants in their well-being. Together, we are building a future where technology not only improves efficiency but fundamentally enhances human connection, making healthcare more accessible, continuous, and patient-centered.
