15 Aug 2022EBRAINS supports AISN project which aims to integrate AI in healthcare
EBRAINS is proud to support the AISN project which has been selected for Horizon Europe’s ‘Tackling diseases’ call for proposals. The goal of the project is to develop and validate guidelines for integrating artificial intelligence in healthcare, with a focus on post-stroke rehabilitation.
The Horizon Europe call was launched to support projects that aim to tackle diseases and reduce disease burden. The AISN (Integrating AI in Stroke Neurorehabilitation) project responded to the ‘Clinical validation of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for treatment and care’ topic of the call.
AISN will develop a platform for clinical decision-support and intervention delivery which will be validated in a clinical trial with an estimated 115 patients. The platform will use AI-enhanced data processing, control, and whole-brain modelling technologies to:
● Process patient data
● Personalize treatment protocols
● Predict long-term recovery trajectories
● Monitor patient training progress
● Inform interventions
The performance of the platform will be assessed at the end of the trial along with its safety, usability, and cost efficiency. The insights gleaned from the trial will be used to create treatment guidelines for long-term stroke care.
Radboud University will lead the project, with support from high-level partners in the field such as EBRAINS, Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin, and EODYNE Systems SL.
EBRAINS will provide support mainly through its Data and Knowledge and Brain Atlas services. The EBRAINS Knowledge Graph will play a key role in the AISN data standardization workflow, while the EBRAINS data curation team will assist with meta data annotation and anonymization to maximize the usability of data that is collected. The EBRAINS Multilevel Human Brain Atlas will be used for patient specific whole-brain modelling to enhance diagnostics and prognostics. The AISN project will build on these services by creating a dedicated data processing pipeline which integrates clinical data with reference data sets and models to optimize intervention delivery.
"AISN is the next phase in our ongoing effort to optimize and scale neurorehabilitation through advanced science-grounded technologies, or the Rehabilitation Gaming System (RGS). In this step the particular focus is to accelerate scaling of RGS through enhancing the capability to process and interpret the large amounts of data that digital brain health technologies generate and also need. This serves both clinical decision-making and automated individualized service delivery to patients in at-home settings."

About the Human Brain Project
The Human Brain Project (HBP) is the largest brain science project in Europe and stands among the biggest research projects ever funded by the European Union. It is one of the three FET Flagship Projects of the EU. At the interface of neuroscience and information technology, the HBP investigates the brain and its diseases with the help of highly advanced methods from computing, neuroinformatics and artificial intelligence and drives innovation in fields like brain-inspired computing and neurorobotics.
