If you are a drug developer dealing with variable treatment responses in real-world settings — this project developed a companion diagnostic platform that predicts disease trajectories under different treatment options. This allows for better targeting of the 19 available disease modifying treatments to the right patients.
AI-Driven Precision Medicine Platform for Personalized Multiple Sclerosis Treatment Optimization
Imagine trying to find the right key for a lock, but every lock is slightly different and you have 19 different keys to try. This project builds a smart digital assistant that analyzes a patient's unique health data to predict which medicine will actually work first. It replaces the guessing game of trial-and-error with a data-backed map of the patient's future health.
What needed solving
Doctors currently use a trial-and-error method to treat Multiple Sclerosis because the disease varies wildly between patients. This leads to poor treatment responses and higher healthcare costs.
What was built
A companion diagnostic platform that visualizes biomarkers and predicts disease trajectories. It includes a common data model for harmonizing clinical and MRI data.
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are a software vendor dealing with fragmented clinical data — this project developed a common data model (CDM) that harmonized data from over 5,000 real-world patients. This enables the creation of scalable AI tools for biomarker extraction and visualization.
If you are a clinic manager dealing with high costs of care and unpredictable patient relapses — this project developed an AI-assisted care platform that uses subclinical biomarkers to optimize treatment. This aims to improve patient outcomes while lowering the total cost of care.
Quick answers
