AID4BC Multimodal AI-based Precision Diagnostics and Decision Support for Breast Cancer and Decision Support for Breast Cancer
NEST – Novelty, Excellence, Synergy, and Teams project, funded by DDLS, SciLifeLab and Wallenberg National Program for Data-Driven Life Science, and WASP, Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program
BACKGROUND Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease. Multimodality: mammography, histopathology, RNA sequencing, and health registries. Data acquired at different stages is analyzed separately, often manually.
AID4BC develops methodology & AI-models for individual/combined data types (rad, path, molecular, clinical), to advance precision diagnostics and treatment decision support.
RESEARCH QUESTIONS Precision diagnostics to predict response. Clinical & multidisciplinary decision-making by integrated clinical info & AI-predictions.
AIMS Data-driven multimodal methods:
• Single/multi-modal AI precision diagnostic;
• AI-based computer vision, multi-modal modelling, data-driven clinical decision-making;
• AI research data models & infrastructure, facilitating transition to healthcare.
The world’s largest multi-site/multi-modal study (rad/path, RNAseq, clin data; N >10,000).
IMPACT Increase understanding of disease and novel biomarkers to transform diagnosis and management. AI analyses & decision support to reduce costs and increase access to precision diagnostics.
