HR 5045 United States House · 119th Congress

HEALTH AI Act

This bill establishes a federal grant program to fund research on using generative AI in healthcare. The Secretary of Health and Human Services will award grants to eligible entities like universities, non-profits, and government agencies to study how AI can improve clinical documentation, reduce administrative burdens, speed up insurance claims, and enhance patient service. Grants prioritize projects focused on reducing clinician burnout, addressing health disparities, and expanding care for medically underserved populations. The law aims to support practical AI applications that make healthcare more efficient and accessible without mandating specific technologies or outcomes.
