BRaIn Disease monitoring throuGh the lifE span powered by Artificial Intelligence

Project description

Tackling brain disorders with AI

Medical imaging powered by AI is changing healthcare. However, most AI systems still provide only static snapshots instead of tracking how diseases progress over time. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the BRIDGE-AI project will train doctoral candidates to create AI tools that monitor and predict brain disorders throughout life. Candidates will work with experts from universities, hospitals, scanner manufacturers, and AI companies, connecting clinical needs with research and practical applications. With access to large neuroimaging datasets and interdisciplinary support, BRIDGE-AI will develop imaging AI that tracks changes over time, improves treatment predictions, and encourages open-source solutions. This will ensure a significant clinical impact and the wide dissemination of new ideas.

Objective

BRIDGE-AI will train a new generation of innovative and entrepreneurial-oriented doctoral candidates (DCs) to move the state-of-the-art away from the snapshot interpretation of medical images by AI to a longitudinal follow-up and prediction of disease progression, covering a wide range of brain disorders across the entire lifespan. In an innovative departure of prevalent training models, each of BRIDGE-AI's DCs will be co-supervised by internationally leading experts from university research in biomedical image computing, world-renowned research hospitals, leading scanner manufacturers (Siemens, Philips) and medical imaging AI companies (incl. Bayer). Through this unique network, BRIDGE-AI will complete the entire circle from clinical needs to image acquisition, academic AI solution proposal, and commercial product for tracking disease progression and predicting treatment response in individual patients. Each of BRIDGE-AI's DCs will have a dedicated multidisciplinary and multisectoral thesis board, receiving input from industry, academia, and hospitals, and having access to large collections of clinical neuroimaging data, facilitating the evaluation of the true clinical relevance and impact of the proposed disease monitoring tools. Wide dissemination of the obtained methodological advances will be ensured by adopting a strong network-wide focus on open-source software.
