- The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) announced an initiative called ADVOCATE to develop artificial intelligence (AI) tools for managing cardiovascular diseases.
- Under ADVOCATE, AI tools aim to connect to patient records, assist in appointment scheduling, provide diet and physical therapy recommendations, and help write and modify prescriptions.
- A “supervisory agent” will be developed to ensure the safe and effective use of clinical AI recommendations by monitoring and overseeing patient-facing agents.
- ARPA-H aims to advance the AI action plan issued by the White House in July 2025 with the ADVOCATE program.
- Proposals for the program are categorized into developing patient-facing AI agents, creating a supervisory agent for oversight, and recruiting health systems to engage in technology design and deployment.
- Submission deadlines for solution summaries are February 27 and for full proposals are April 1.
