EUCAIM Stakeholder Survey Questions

  • EUCAIM Stakeholder Survey Questions

    This survey will provide valuable insights from the community regarding the direction the EUCAIM project should pursue with the Cancer Image Europe infrastructure for AI in cancer. Your opinion is invaluable to us in ensuring the Cancer Image Europe platform becomes a valuable and essential resource for advancing science.

  • Have you heard of the EUCAIM project or the Cancer Image Europe platform before today?*

  • The EUropean Federation for CAncer IMages project, EUCAIM, is the cornerstone of the European Commission-initiated European Cancer Imaging Initiative, a flagship of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan (EBCP), which aims to foster innovation of digital technologies in cancer treatment and care to achieve more precise and faster clinical decision making, diagnostics, treatment and predictive medicine for cancer patients.

    Health data, including medical images, are highly distributed and fragmented in Europe. Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a paradigm shift towards data-driven decision making that is revolutionising medicine. In medical imaging, an increasing number of studies are appearing in which AI tools are making important contributions towards a more accurate diagnosis or a more reliable treatment response and prognostic prediction. However, there can be a significant difference between the design and the real-world performance of algorithms, leading to ethical and safety issues. The aim of EUCAIM is to address this issue: to deploy a federated, pan-European research infrastructure in order to address the fragmentation of the health data and medical images in Europe.

    This research infrastructure will support the development and validation of AI tools toward Precision Medicine. Such AI tools will support and enhance the (cancer) diagnosis procedure, treatment and the identification of the need for predictive medicine. Overall, this infrastructure will provide a platform for developing AI tools that aim to enhance cancer treatment and the diagnosis procedure for patients.

    EUCAIM builds on the already existing, but fragmented data repositories of cancer images developed through the projects of the AI4HI initiative. Furthermore, we will also define the legal grounds for the operation of the federated data repository on the European scale by adapting to the particularities of the data management regulations of the different European countries. Preserving the data sovereignty of the data providers has a high priority in EUCAIM.
