Edge AI-deployed DIGItal Twins for PREDICTing disease progression and need for early intervention in infectious and cardiovascular diseases beyond COVID-19
COVID-19 is associated with so many different symptoms – from a sore throat and the loss of taste to more serious ones like lung failure. Is there a way to predict how serious the disease will be when it first manifests? The EU-funded DIGIPREDICT project is developing a system based on AI that can predict whether COVID-19 patients will develop severe cardiovascular complications and, in the longer term, detect the likely onset of inflammatory disease. Specifically, it proposes the first of its kind Digital Twin that will consist of a smart patch with integrated technology for collecting a range of medical data. This will be able to monitor how well the treatment is working.
