10. Decision Support for Complex Diseases
 Help professionals to extract knowledge from data: earlier, evidence-
based decision making
 Explainable AI and machine learning approaches, of highly diverse data
 Brain diseases (dementias, stress, stroke, brain injury), cardiac diseases,
cancers
Example Projects: www.predictnd.eu, www.vph-dare.eu, www.tbicare.eu www.centre-tbi.eu

11. Stop Diabetes (StopDia) - From Knowledge to Solutions
Science integrated in the health system
We need to…
- target all three levels
- create personalized approach
- be cost-efficient

14. Informed society public health decisions
 The impacts of health-related policy decisions in
society are difficult to predict and require
complex modelling of the entire system
(society).
 Improve health and social wellbeing related
decision making on individual, organizational,
and societal levels via systematic and intensive
use of data.
 Data analysis to help in planning the optimal
population-level strategies e.g. for disease
screening and other public health
campaigns.
