According to the report, a team from the Defense Health Agency’s Chief Data and Analytics Office snagged second place at a hackathon hosted by the National Defense Industrial Association, showcasing how AI can tackle critical challenges in military readiness.
The report stated that the challenge is part of an annual emerging tech expo in Washington, D.C., brought together top minds from government, industry, and academia to create tech solutions that address real-world defense problems.
The report also said that the DHA CDAO team, known as Team MEDAL (Medical Evaluation for Defense Airmen’s Readiness), competed against 50 other teams with an AI-driven solution to automate aeromedical clearance for US Air Force pilots, a crucial step in getting pilots back on duty after medical issues or injuries.
Additionally, the MEDAL’s software prototype reportedly slashed that time to under 30 seconds, covering all relevant reviews from a service member’s medical history to authorization requirements. The team said they combined synthetic data from the Pentagon’s unified digital health record, known as MHS GENESIS, with existing medical policies to build the AI tool.
