CAS and Cleveland Clinic Collaborate on AI and Quantum Computing for Health Research

CAS and Cleveland Clinic have announced a strategic collaboration to accelerate research in health and wellness through advanced AI and quantum computing, announced in a press release. The partnership aims to leverage the unique expertise and technology of both organizations to enhance clinical research, with an initial focus on drug discovery for brain health, particularly Alzheimer's disease.

The collaboration will utilize the CAS Content Collection™, a comprehensive scientific information resource, alongside new AI models and quantum computing technologies. Cleveland Clinic, in partnership with IBM, houses an IBM Quantum System One, the world's first quantum computer dedicated to healthcare research. This initiative aims to build and train disease-specific models, starting with Alzheimer's, to advance preventative and predictive strategies.

The effort is part of the Cleveland Innovation District, which aims to create jobs, accelerate research, and educate the future workforce by bringing together the State of Ohio, JobsOhio, and Cleveland's healthcare and higher education institutions.
