The University of Twente will be coordinating a large-scale European project RE-SAMPLE in which real-world data monitoring and Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be used to improve understanding of COPD and comorbidity (two or more chronic conditions).
The number of chronic conditions in Europe is on the rise, particularly as life expectancy increases. Meanwhile, health care systems are not yet sufficiently equipped to treat patients suffering from a combination of chronic conditions. “In other words: patients with multiple complex chronic conditions are sometimes sent from pillar to post”, Dr ir Monique Tabak of the University of Twente explains. Tabak is conducting research into personalised e-health technology and is the coordinator for the project. UT Researchers in the fields of cybersecurity and the evaluation of healthcare technology will also be involved.
