The College of Medicine will receive an American Medical Association grant to fund its project, titled “Ambient AI for precision feedback: Augmenting clinical reasoning and communication using real-time feedback.”
The American Medical Association chose 11 team recipients from among nearly 200 applicants. The Cincinnati team distinguished itself as an innovator and leader in precision education, and for its efforts to strengthen the physician workforce and support high-quality patient care, the university said.
“Being selected as a recipient of this grant is a significant milestone for the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine,” said Dr. Gregory Postel, dean of the college. “By leveraging real-time data to deliver personalized feedback, we can optimize learning for our students and residents while ensuring the next generation of physicians is prepared to deliver high-quality, precision-based care to our patients and community.”
Precision education models use data and technology, including augmented intelligence, to tailor learning to each learner’s needs. These models help medical students, residents and physicians focus on developing the skills and competencies that matter most in diagnosing, communicating with and caring for patients, the university said.
The project will use data collected through devices, such as eyeglasses and smartphones, to capture interactions and provide personalized feedback on clinical reasoning and communication skills. This will allow students to refine how they connect with patients and think through complex diagnoses.
To achieve this, University of Cincinnati investigators will use a platform that has been providing on-demand, adaptive AI simulations, the university said.
The principal investigator, Laurah Turner, and her team will develop AI algorithms for feedback delivery via smartphone app.
In addition, heads-up displays in AI glasses will project crucial information in users’ line of sight.
The team will test it with about 600 medical students and residents, at two sites, before using the technology for interactions with patients.
“Precision education is poised to transform how we train physicians, said Turner, the college’s associate dean of artificial intelligence and educational informatics.
“Medical trainees spend thousands of hours in clinical settings but receive feedback on only a fraction of their patient encounters,” Turner said. “We’re moving to a model where every patient encounter becomes a learning opportunity. That’s the promise of precision education.”
