Northwestern Medicine has received a $ 25 million donation to develop artificial intelligence to treat heart disease.
The donation of the Bluhm Family Charitable Foundation (BLOOM) was announced on Tuesday. The foundation was created by Chicago philanthropist and real estate developer, Neil Bluhm, who donated funds in 2005 to create the Northwestern Bluhm Heart Institute and recruit Dr. Patrick McCarthy as Executive Director .
McCarthy says the donation will be used, in part, to launch a unique center that will use artificial intelligence and machine learning to better diagnose, treat and study heart disease.
McCarthy says that cardiovascular disease remains "America's number one killer" and the new technology offers "an abundance of new ways" to search for and treat it.
Bluhm says that he is "incredibly gratified" that more people have access to care.
