Trustworthy AI
for healthcare.

The Computational Thinking Lab at Indiana University studies how AI can make care safer, more private, and more efficient.

What we work on

Research across healthcare AI.

Three research directions, from synthetic clinical data to human-centered and efficient models for healthcare.

Trustworthy evaluation, in the open.

We build open evaluation frameworks for healthcare AI that measure a model on several axes at once, from statistical fidelity and privacy to clinical usefulness, and tie each result to a real clinical use. The datasets and tools are public so others can test their own models the same way.

How we work

Built for impact and trust.

A cross-disciplinary team that turns hard questions in healthcare AI into systems people can rely on.

Rigorous evaluation.

We judge models on the axes that matter for care, including fidelity, privacy, fairness, and clinical usefulness, not just top-line accuracy.

Real-world stakes.

We work on problems where reliability is not optional, from clinical decision support to patient data.

Open science.

We release datasets, benchmarks, and code so the community can build on and scrutinize our work.

Cross-disciplinary.

A team spanning machine learning, statistics, behavior science, and clinical expertise that takes ideas from question to result.
