Viz.ai is collaborating with the National Rural Health Association (NRHA) to help rural hospital leaders understand and implement AI tools for disease detection and care coordination.
As part of the collaboration, Viz.ai and the NRHA will provide educational webinars, real-world case studies, and programming at the NRHA's national conference in May. Viz.ai's platform analyzes medical images and clinical data to identify conditions including stroke, pulmonary embolism, and aortic disease, automatically alerting clinicians and connecting local teams with specialists.
Viz.ai said the collaboration is intended to address a gap in rural AI adoption, citing research showing rural hospitals are 25% less likely to adopt new technologies such as AI than urban organizations due to funding and access constraints. The platform is currently used in 2,000 hospitals across the U.S., according to the company.
