UD to Lead $21.5M NSF AI Institute for Therapy

The National Science Foundation awarded $21.5 million to establish the NSF AI Institute for Human-AI Cooperation, known as HAIC ^[1]. Headquartered at the University of Delaware, the institute focuses on creating adaptive AI technologies to support physical therapists ^[1]. These tools aim to assist specialists in guiding patient treatments and accelerating recovery times for individuals with mobility challenges ^[1].

The University of Pennsylvania will serve as a key partner in this national initiative ^[2]. Researchers plan to develop systems that adapt to individual patient needs, improving long-term health outcomes ^[1]. This collaboration highlights a growing federal investment in healthcare technology and interdisciplinary research between major universities ^[1][2].
