Artificial Intelligence Ready and Exploratory Atlas for Diabetes Insights
Generating a flagship AI-ready and ethically-sourced dataset to support future AI-driven discoveries in diabetes
Generating data, best practices, and tools to boost future AI-driven research in diabetes
- AI-READI is one of the data generation projects of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded Bridge2AI Program.
- The AI-READI project seeks to create and share a flagship dataset of type 2 diabetes.
- The data will be optimized for future artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) analysis that could provide critical insights and especially shine light on the salutogenic pathways from diabetes to return to health.

Collecting multimodal data
The project aims to collect data from 4,000 participants across three sites: the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), the University of California San Diego (UCSD), and the University of Washington (UW). The aim is to collect 1000 participants in each of four diabetes severity categories: 1) No Diabetes, 2) Prediabetes or Lifestyle-Controlled Diabetes, 3) Oral and Non-Insulin Injectable Controlled Diabetes, and 4) Insulin-Controlled Diabetes.
Sharing AI-ready dataset
The resulting dataset is shared periodically through our dedicated web platform called fairhub.io following Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable principles such that it is ready for future AI/ML-driven analysis. The associated tools, standards, and guidelines for making data AI-ready are being openly shared so that future data generation projects can also make their data AI-ready.
Training future AI-workforce
The AI-READI project is developing and deploying training and career development activities for individuals who will effectively contribute to translational AI research, particularly in the biomedical/clinical domain.
Advancing our understanding of team science
We apply team science to promote transdisciplinary collaboration. In doing so, we also aim to advance our understanding of teaming in the context of multi-team systems.
Engaging community members
Community members are engaged along the way to ensure their suggestions and concerns regarding data collection, management, and sharing are considered.
