Innovators worldwide invited to demonstrate how HL7 standards and
AI can revolutionize healthcare

HL7 is proud to announce the launch HL7 AI Challenge 2025, a global innovation competition designed to spotlight the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) when powered by open health data standards. Selected winners will be recognized on stage during HL7’s 39th Annual Plenary, Working Group Meeting, September 13-19, 2025, in Pittsburgh.

The HL7 AI Challenge is open to any individual, team or organization across academia, industry, and government using HL7 standards to power AI applications that solve real-world clinical, operational or equity-focused problems. HL7 membership is not required, and there is no cost to participate.

 The competition builds on HL7’s long-standing commitment to enabling interoperable, standards-based healthcare innovation and reflects growing global interest in aligning AI adoption with ethical, explainable and secure data practices.

“As AI becomes more deeply embedded in healthcare, we must ensure it advances—not undermines—trust, transparency, and patient outcomes,” said Dr. Charles Jaffe, CEO of HL7 International. “The HL7 AI Challenge invites technologists, researchers and clinicians worldwide to showcase how open standards can anchor responsible, scalable AI innovation, bridging the health IT and AI communities for the benefit of all.”
