Evidence-based Participatory Decision Making for Colorectal Cancer Prevention
ONCODIR is developing a platform based on artificial intelligence and privacy principles. It will provide recommendation services based on input from citizens, clinicians and policy-makers. We will consider factors such as lifestyle, nutrition and economics. To validate the ONCODIR results, we will conduct laboratory tests and pilots in five EU countries that will involve medical scientists, healthcare providers, foundations and consortium experts and will consider cost-effectiveness, affordability and cost-benefit parameters. The ONCODIR consortium consists of partners from diverse technological and scientific domains with a strong research capacity. ONCODIR is part of the Cancer Mission cluster of projects focused on prevention and early detection.”
ESDO is proud to be a partner of this programme.
