healthsocal.ai: Transforming Healthcare with AI for Social Good
Are you ready to join a groundbreaking initiative that’s set to revolutionize healthcare and well-being in Southern California and beyond?
healthsocal.ai, powered by Octane and generously supported by the Samueli Family Foundation, is on a mission to create a healthier population by harnessing the power of data and AI solutions.
Why healthsocal.ai now?
The U.S. spends nearly 2x the average of OECD countries, yet has the lowest life expectancy, the highest chronic illness burden, an obesity rate 2x OECD countries, and the highest suicide rates.
At the same time, we possess the globe’s most advanced AI technology, can develop vaccines in just 18 months, and use remote robotics for surgeries with laser-like precision.
Our Vision
Establishing SoCal as an AI Global SuperHub
We’re assembling an end-to-end ecosystem of world-class healthcare and AI experts to collaborate on solving complex healthcare challenges. From personalized health strategies to data-driven care coordination, we aim to transform the way we approach healthcare.
A Living Lab for Disruptive Health AI Innovation
