This systemwide initiative builds on UT-HIP and will establish a coordinated infrastructure to advance AI across all UT health campuses.The UT Research, Engineering, and Application Laboratory for Healthcare Artificial Intelligence (UT-REAL-Health-AI) initiative has received $25 million in total funding—$15 million approved by the Texas Legislature and $10 million allocated by the UT System Board of Regents. The key objectives of the initiative are:
More than 700 people attended this year’s symposium designed to explore the potential catalyst artificial intelligence can be for positive change in health care.The 2025 UT System Artificial Intelligence (AI) Symposium in Health Care, hosted at UT Houston, provided an opportunity for knowledge to converge, ideas to flourish, and the future of AI-enhanced health care to begin to take shape. Attendees were inspired to imagine the impact AI could have across education, biomedical research, and medical care.
As the University of Texas System works to optimize quality outcomes within the system’s major medical schools, UT cardiac surgeons have come together to learn from one another and strive for excellence in cardiac surgical outcomes through the University of Texas Cardiac Surgery Quality Collaborative (UTCSQC).
Launched in 2017, following a day-long UT System Quality Retreat, the Quality Collaborative uses data to identify and illuminate areas of potential improvements across the UT System and share best practices with the goal of being the best in the country.
