How WellSect Won the CMS AI Challenge
WellSect CTO, Dave DeCaprio, details how we won the CMS AI Health Outcomes Challenge, what obstacles we encountered along the way, and what contributed to our winning submission.
In 2021, WellSect won the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) AI Health Outcomes Challenge — the largest healthcare-focused AI challenge in history. The $1.6 million contest centered on creating explainable AI solutions to predict health outcomes and surface key insights that clinical end-users could easily understand and trust.
In addition to accuracy and explainability, CMS judged submissions on how effectively they addressed algorithmic bias and fairness. WellSect’s submission excelled across all evaluation criteria, beating out more than 300 of the world’s leading technology, healthcare, and pharmaceutical organizations including IBM, the Mayo Clinic, Geisinger, Merck, Accenture, and Deloitte.
