Research

The Division of Hospital Medicine is one of the largest units in the Department of Medicine at Stanford Medicine. With over 80 faculty members across Stanford and SHC Tri-Valley section, many are engaged in cutting edge basic, clinical, and translational research.

With such diverse and unique expertise, we adopt a multi-modal approach to research focused on inpatient hospital care, quality improvement, and medical education that combines behavior, intervention, and basic biological modalities. Innovative computational modeling and machine learning approaches leverage the power of AI to enhance and streamline clinical workflows and research.

ARISE Healthcare Network

Our Mission

The ARiSE (AI Research and Science Evaluation) Healthcare Network was established in 2024 as a collaboration between clinicians and researchers across academic medical centers to advance the field of healthcare AI by designing and executing rigorous, multi-center research studies. Our network of physicians evaluate AI outputs and AI solutions against use cases, which enables us to run Randomized Controlled Trials using arms like AI alone, AI + doctor, and doctor alone.

Our mission is to empower the healthcare community to effectively integrate emerging AI technologies to advance patient care through rigorous scientific evaluation.
