12-Feb-2024

Key points from article :

A new project named NextGen has been launched to personalize therapies for heart disease patients using artificial intelligence.

The project is funded by the EU’s Horizon Europe programme and will be delivered by a consortium of 21 members.

The project will collect genetic and health information from individual patients and use AI to analyze it and develop personalized treatment plans.

The project is expected to improve the effectiveness of heart disease treatment and reduce the overall burden of cardiovascular disease in Europe.

The project will also develop new tools to merge different types of data in a secure way that upholds individual privacy.

The project, initiated by University Medical Center Utrecht, is expected to take advantage of the 1+ Million Genomes initiative and the European Health Data Space.
