Abstract:In recent years, the application of artificial intelligence in medical research has deepened, the United States has been
at the forefront of the world in this area. This study conducted statistical and cluster analysis of the number, amount, funded
institutions, funding mechanisms, and expenditure classification labels of the National Institutes of Health funded medical artificial
intelligence projects. Results showed that the number and amount of medical artificial intelligence projects in the United States had
been growth periodically and increased rapidly in the past five years. The projects were mainly research-based projects, along with
some application projects and projects focus on productization. Among these projects, bioengineering, clinical research, network
information technology, neuroscience, genetics, cancer, ageing were the common research topics using artificial intelligence
technology. This paper revealed the development situation, trend and main application field of medical researches applying artificial
intelligence technology in the United States in order to provide reference for the construction of medical artificial intelligence
funding system and support medical researches applying artificial intelligence in China.
