AI-Driven Risk Scoring and Management System for Complex Drug Interactions

healthTestedTRL 5

Imagine your body as a complex lock and medicines as keys. Sometimes, taking multiple keys at once or having a unique genetic lock makes the medicine behave unpredictably, leading to dangerous side effects. This project builds a smart digital assistant that predicts these clashes and helps patients and doctors adjust doses to keep people safe.

The business problem

What needed solving

Patients taking multiple medications often suffer from adverse drug reactions due to complex interactions between drugs and their genes. These reactions lead to high hospitalization rates and death, while traditional clinical trials are too expensive to map every possible interaction.

The solution

What was built

An AI risk scoring system for adverse drug reactions, a digital Medication Management Center (MMC) for patients, and a web-based dose adaptation decision support system.

Who can put this to work

Digital Health
SME
Target: Health-tech app developer

If you are a health-tech app developer dealing with low patient adherence in elderly care — this project developed a digital Medication Management Center (MMC) that allows patients to manage therapies and learn about interactions. This increases user engagement and safety.

Pharmaceuticals
enterprise
Target: Precision medicine firm

If you are a precision medicine firm dealing with the high cost of clinical trials for drug-drug-gene interactions — this project developed a risk scoring system using machine learning on real-world datasets. This allows for identifying at-risk patients without expensive combinatorial trials.

Healthcare Providers
mid-size
Target: Private clinic network

If you are a private clinic network dealing with high hospitalization rates due to adverse drug reactions — this project developed a web-based decision support system for individualized dose adaptations. This reduces medical errors and associated healthcare costs.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

What is the cost or pricing model for the risk scoring system?

Based on available project data, no specific pricing or cost information is provided as the project is EU-funded.

Can this be scaled to an industrial level?

The project uses machine learning on large real-world datasets and involves 14 partners across 6 countries, suggesting a design intended for broad European clinical application.

What are the IP and licensing terms for the Medication Management Center?

Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not mentioned; however, the project is a Horizon-RIA research action.

How does this integrate with existing hospital systems?

The project developed a web-based decision support system and a digital Medication Management Center to provide tailored information to physicians and citizens.

What is the timeline for full market deployment?

The project period runs from 2022-06-01 to 2026-08-31, with current work focusing on model refinement and proof-of-principle studies.

Consortium

Who built it

The consortium is research-heavy with 8 universities and 2 research institutes, but maintains a 21% industry presence through 3 SMEs. This balance suggests a strong academic foundation in machine learning and pharmacology, supported by small-scale industrial agility for the digital tool development across 6 European countries.
