Center Vision & Mission

The Intelligent Clinical Care Center (IC³) will advance our vision for transformative critical and acute care medicine where pervasive and immersive artificial intelligence augments a human-centered healthcare system. The mission of IC³ is to develop and provide sustainable support and leadership for transformative medical AI research, education, and clinical applications to advance patients’ health in critical and acute care medicine.

Translational research in medical AI requires trained faculty engaged in a transdisciplinary approach that creates a unity of intellectual frameworks beyond the disciplinary perspectives to ensure a trustworthy evolution of these powerful tools towards patient care. Through the partnership between the University of Florida Colleges of Medicine and Engineering, the IC³ is the first transdisciplinary program in the nation to study AI in critical and acute illnesses and provide the necessary collaborative infrastructure to propel the University of Florida and UF Health as the leaders in this field.
