AI-Driven Prediction Platform for Vascular Disease Risk and Personalized Patient Management

healthTestedTRL 5

Imagine a smart weather forecast, but for your arteries. Instead of just seeing a problem now, this tool uses a mix of medical scans, genetic codes, and smartwatch data to predict if a blood vessel will bulge or clog in the future. It then gives doctors a clear dashboard and patients an app to help them decide on the best treatment together.

The business problem

What needed solving

Clinicians currently lack a precise way to identify which patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms or peripheral arterial disease are at the highest risk for rapid progression or cardiovascular events.

The solution

What was built

An AI-driven platform featuring risk-prediction tools, a patient communication app, and a clinical decision-support dashboard.

Who can put this to work

Medical Software
any
Target: Health-tech AI developer

If you are a health-tech AI developer dealing with the lack of integrated vascular data — this project developed a trustworthy AI-driven platform that combines imaging, proteomics, and genomics to predict disease progression. This allows for the creation of high-precision clinical decision tools.

Medical Devices
enterprise
Target: Wearable health device manufacturer

If you are a wearable health device manufacturer dealing with low clinical utility of lifestyle data — this project developed a system that integrates wearable data into a clinical dashboard. This transforms raw activity data into actionable risk-prediction for vascular events.

Healthcare Providers
mid-size
Target: Private cardiology clinic network

If you are a private cardiology clinic network dealing with inefficient patient triaging — this project developed AI risk-prediction tools for AAA and PAD. This enables the identification of high-risk patients for targeted, personalized prevention strategies.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

What is the cost or pricing for the VASCUL-AID platform?

Based on available project data, the specific commercial price is not mentioned, although the project aims to deliver a cost-effective platform.

Can this be scaled to other medical conditions?

Yes. The project documentation states that once validated, the platform can be extended to other cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) as well.

What are the IP and licensing terms for the AI tools?

Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not provided, but the project involves a consortium of 15 partners including industry and universities.

How does the platform handle data regulations and ethics?

The project places a particular emphasis on ethics to ensure the beneficial implementation of AI prediction tools and builds an EU-wide data infrastructure.

What is the timeline for clinical deployment?

The project period runs from 2023-05-01 to 2029-04-30, indicating a long-term development and validation cycle.

Consortium

Who built it

The consortium is heavily weighted toward research and academia, with 7 universities and 4 research institutes. However, it maintains a 13% industry ratio with 2 industry partners, ensuring that the 15-partner group covers the full value chain from data collection to clinical practice integration.
