GenoMed4ALL: Improving SCD Classification and Prognosis by AI
Study overview
GenoMed4All ‘Genomics and Personalized Medicine for all though Artificial Intelligence in Haematological Diseases’ aims to advance on individual SCD patients’ disease characterisation and to improve the monitoring of patients’ health status, optimise clinical therapy guidance and ultimately improved health outcomes by the identification of biomarkers and the development of individual (risk) models in SCD. Genomed4All supports the pooling of genomic, clinical data and other “-omics” health through a secure and privacy respectful data sharing platform based on the novel Federated Learning scheme, to advance research in personalised medicine in haematological diseases thanks to advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) models and standardised interoperable sharing of cross-border data, without needing to directly share any sensitive clinical patients’ data. The SCD Use case will gather multi-modal clinical and -OMICs data from 1,000 SCD patients in 4 EU-MS: France, Italy, Spain and The Netherlands.
GENOMED4ALL: Improving MDS Classification and Prognosis by AI
Study overview
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) typically occur in elderly people. Current disese classifcation system and prognostic scores (International Prognostic Scoring System, IPSS) present limitations and in most cases fail to capture reliable prognostic information at individual level. Study of MDS has been rapidly transformed by genome characterization and there is increasing evidence that mutation screening may add significant information to currently available prognostic scores. The project will aim to develop artificial intelligence (AI)-based solutions to improve MDS classification and prognostication, through the implementation of a personalized medicine approach. In close collaboration with the European Reference Network on Rare Hematological Diseases (ERN-EuroBloodNet, FPA 739541), GENOMED4ALL involves multiple clinical partners from the network, while leveraging on healthcare information and repositories that will be gathered incorporating interoperability standards as promoted by ERN-EuroBloodNet central registry, the European Rare Blood Disorders Platform (ENROL, GA 947670).
