Abstract

This project will explore avenues for personalised healthcare planning and modelling. We will combine artificial intelligence and mathematical modelling to produce personalised diagnosis prediction, and decision support for the design of personalised treatment and diagnostic pathways. The proposed solution will ensure data privacy, fairness and model interpretability, to allow validation by health care specialists. We will integrate data from different cancer diagnosis and treatment sources, including data from the Cancer Institute of Guarapuava, a partner in the project. The project will involve Brazilian graduate students. (AU)
