The Innovation Radar of the European Commission has selected three innovations in which MORElab members Aitor Almeida and Aritz Bilbao participated in the BD4QoL project funded by Horizon 2020. The selected innovations are:

• Innovation Title: BD4QoL mobile app modules for unobtrusive collection of data for assessment of Quality of Life in Head and Neck Cancer survivors;
  • Market Maturity of the Innovation: Business Ready
  • Market Creation Potential of the innovation: High
  • In collaboration with IBM IRELAND LIMITED and DOTSOFT

• Innovation Title: AI-based models, for the prediction of QoL trajectories in HNC survivors;
  • Market Maturity of the Innovation: Exploring
  • Market Creation Potential of the innovation: High
  • In collaboration with UNIVERSITETET I OSLO and FONDAZIONE IRCCS ISTITUTO NAZIONALE DEI TUMORI

• Innovation Title: BD4QoL Ontology for Head and Neck Cancer survivorship domain modelling;
  • Market Maturity of the Innovation: Business Ready
  • Market Creation Potential of the innovation: Minor
  • In collaboration with UNIVERSIDAD POLITECNICA DE MADRID and DOTSOFT

The EU-funded BD4QoL project aims to improve HNC survivors’ quality of life by developing a person-centred monitoring and follow-up plan. It will use artificial intelligence and Big Data collected from mobile devices, in combination with multi-source clinical and socioeconomic data and patients’ reported outcomes. Analysis of the quality of life indicators collected over time will facilitate early detection of risks, prevent long-term effects of treatment, and inform patients and caregivers for personalised interventions.
