The #BD4QoL project workplan includes a Health Technology Assessment study to facilitate its applicability in clinical practice. #NeckCancer #HeadCancer @MultiMedEng More info: https://t.co/KS53s7IztL

#BD4QoL adopts multiple #ArtificialIntelligence methods to investigate the prediction of the long-term effects of cancer treatment from “big data” assets on #NeckCancer and #HeadCancer patient's.

[BD4QoL @Bd4QoL]

#BD4QoL Deep Learning based models for sequence modeling like Long Short-Term Memory networks and algorithms for time-series analysis like the autoregressive integrated moving average models will be applied datasets from previous studies to create accurate predictive model.

[BD4QoL @Bd4QoL]

#BD4QoL will provide classification and prediction models that anticipate the worsening of quality of life or the onset of other health conditions and stratify patients into risk subgroups. #NeckCancer and #HeadCancer.

[BD4QoL @Bd4QoL]

#BD4QoL adopts multiple #ArtificialIntelligence based on rich longitudinal information unobtrusively collected through a mobile app, a patient empowerment chatbot, quality of life questionnaires, clinical assessments at follow-up visits and patients' health and socioeconomic data

[BD4QoL @Bd4QoL]

#BD4QoL This model will be enriched with the new behavioral and affective features detected by BD4QoL apps. #NeckCancer and #HeadCancer.

[BD4QoL @Bd4QoL]

#BD4QoL IBM Watson will be leveraged to provide the basis for technical partners to research, train and prototype innovative cognitive and affective computing approaches. #NeckCancer and #HeadCancer.
