Projektbeschreibung
Schwarmlernsoftware für KI-gestützte Krebsvorsorge
Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) wird das Gesundheitswesen stark verändern, indem sie die medizinische Diagnose verbessert. Dazu müssen große Sammlungen von Patientendaten gemeinsam genutzt werden, was oft mit mehreren Hindernissen verbunden ist. Schwarmlernen fördert die Entwicklung von medizinischer KI unter Wahrung der Privatsphäre, aber der Zugang zu diesem Ansatz war bisher begrenzt. In diesem Zusammenhang wird das EU-finanzierte Projekt ODELIA die erste quelloffene Softwareumgebung für Schwarmlernen aufbauen, das eine rationalisierte Entwicklung von KI-Lösungen unterstützt, die in der Krebsvorsorge eingesetzt werden. Das Projekt wird nicht nur eine nützliche medizinische Anwendung für die Brustkrebsvorsorge bereitstellen, sondern auch den klinischen Nutzen von Schwarmlernen in Form von beschleunigter Entwicklung, erhöhter Leistung und robuster Verallgemeinerbarkeit demonstrieren, um letztlich Tausende Leben zu retten.
Ziel
ArtifArtificial Intelligence (AI) will revolutionize healthcare as its diagnostic performance approaches that of clinical experts. In particular, in cancer screening, AI helps patients to make better-informed decisions and reduce medical error. However, this requires large datasets whose collection faces severe practical, ethical and legal obstacles. These obstacles can be overcome with swarm learning (SL) where partners jointly train AI models without sharing any data. Yet, access to SL technology is seriously limited because no studies have implemented SL in a true multinational setup, no practically usable implementation of SL is available, researchers & healthcare providers have no experience with setting up SL networks and policymakers are currently unaware of the broader implications of SL. ODELIA will address & solve these issues: ODELIA will build the first open-source software framework for SL, providing an assembly line for the streamlined development of AI solutions. To serve as a blueprint for future SL-based AI systems, ODELIA partners collaborate as a swarm to develop the first clinically useful AI algorithm for the detection of breast cancer in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The size of ODELIA's distributed database will exceed all previous studies and ODELIA's AI models will reach expert-level performance for breast cancer screening. Thereby, ODELIA will not only deliver a useful medical application, but prove the clinical benefit of SL in terms of accelerated development, increased performance and robust generalizability to ultimately save thousands of lives of European patients. ODELIA's success will push partners to serve as nuclei for the exponential growth of the SL network and extend SL to a multitude of medical applications. Thus, patients, healthcare providers and citizens in Europe will be provided with a digital infrastructure that enables development of expert-level AI tools on big data without compromising data safety and data privacy.
