For AI to flourish in healthcare, the industry must focus on the "algorithmically underserved," said John D. Halamka, M.D., M.S., president of Mayo Clinic Platform, at the HLTH 2022 conference this month in Las Vegas.

Building this kind of standardization into the relatively black box nature of AI development is among the priorities of The Coalition for Health AI (CHAI), which launched earlier this year.
