AI-Driven Early Warning System for Chronic Disease Prevention via Gut Health Monitoring

healthTestedTRL 5

Imagine your body has a silent alarm system that goes off long before you actually get sick. This project looks at the connection between what we eat, our gut bacteria, and inflammation to spot the exact moment a healthy person starts sliding toward a disease. By tracking these signals, they can suggest specific diet changes or probiotics to stop the damage before it becomes permanent.

The business problem

What needed solving

Chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes and heart disease are often detected only after irreversible organ damage has occurred. There is a lack of personalized, real-time tools to detect the subclinical inflammation that precedes these conditions.

The solution

What was built

The project is building the IMMEDI-APP for lifestyle monitoring and a comprehensive database of omics profiles linked to health-to-disease transitions.

Who can put this to work

Digital Health
SME
Target: Health App Developer

If you are a health app developer dealing with low user retention and generic advice — this project developed the IMMEDI-APP that provides personalized lifestyle and dietary recommendations based on a person's specific inflammation risk score.

Nutraceuticals
mid-size
Target: Probiotic Manufacturer

If you are a probiotic manufacturer dealing with a lack of clinical evidence for specific strains — this project conducted a proof-of-concept study on Akkermansia muciniphila to evaluate its anti-inflammatory effects on somatic and mental health.

Healthcare Providers
enterprise
Target: Preventative Clinic

If you are a clinic dealing with late-stage diagnosis of kidney or heart disease — this project developed a list of actionable risk and resilience factors that can be used to create new prevention guidelines.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

What is the cost or price of the developed tools?

Based on available project data, no pricing or cost information for the IMMEDI-APP or the biomarkers is provided.

Can this be scaled to an industrial level?

The project includes 5 SMEs and 13 partners across 7 countries, suggesting a collaborative structure capable of scaling, though industrial scale metrics are not specified.

What are the IP and licensing options for the biomarkers?

Based on available project data, specific IP or licensing terms are not mentioned; however, the project generates a database of omics profiles and actionable risk factors.

How does the system integrate with existing medical data?

The project uses a data management plan to combine datasets from well-characterized cohorts and multi-omics with clinical data and biospecimens.

What is the timeline for market availability?

The project period runs from 2023-01-01 to 2026-12-31, indicating that final results and tools will be ready by the end of 2026.

Consortium

Who built it

The consortium is well-balanced for commercialization, featuring a 38% industry ratio with 5 SMEs and 6 universities. With 13 partners across 7 countries, the project combines high-level academic research from Charité Berlin with agile SME implementation, specifically targeting the transition from clinical omics data to a consumer-facing digital application.
