Project description
An AI-based risk score for gastric cancer
Artificial intelligence (AI) is gradually being introduced into healthcare to improve disease risk assessment and predict clinical or therapy outcome. The EU-funded AIDA project aims to generate an AI-based risk score for gastric cancer, a disease that is usually detected at an advanced stage when little can be done in terms of treatment. Researchers will combine data from various sources to detect precancerous gastric inflammation and generate a risk score for gastric cancer. The approach will improve understanding of how gastric inflammation evolves into cancer and will help clinicians formulate a personalised treatment plan for preventing gastric cancer.
Objective
Most cases of gastric cancer (GC) are detected at a late stage, when patients have a median life expectancy of about a year. Diagnosing people at risk of developing GC at the pre-symptomatic stage, typically chronic gastric inflammation, could significantly improve the outlook.
Artificial intelligence (AI) can help clinicians make sense of their own data by automating much of the treatment and analysis, which require manual work and years of experience. But it can do more: it can bring together available data from various sources into a vast data lake and cross-correlate the data to derive a risk score for gastric cancer and shed light on the mechanisms of its evolution.
Aida aims to do just that. It helps researchers understand the mechanisms that trigger gastric oncogenesis, helps clinicians diagnose precancerous inflammation at the earliest possible stage, suggests personalised therapeutic strategies for treatment and follow-up, and makes personalised recommendations for monitoring patient health status, thus contributing to gastric cancer prevention.
This places Aida squarely on Europes agenda of Staying healthy in a rapidly changing society. Aida unites some of Europes leading authorities in the field of gastric inflammation, gastric cancer, leading AI and machine learning experts, experts on data governance and privacy, representatives of the public administration and patient advocates. Aida also has strong ties with the industry.
After the project, the results will live on in an association that acts as a transnational focal point for chronic gastric inflammation and GC in general. We hope that the solid, inclusive design principles of Aida, its societal relevance and its durability will spawn a vigorous ecosystem around chronic gastric inflammation, its understanding and its treatment. And we hope that it will inspire other data collaboratives in health for other chronic inflammations, other forms of cancer or other ailments altogether.
