LifeChamps

Geriatric oncology, concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of cancer in the elderly, is an important subtopic. Improving outcomes hinges on many different factors, including the quality of services received. The EU-funded LifeChamps project aims to provide support to middle aged and older (pre-frail and frail) cancer patients. It has developed a big data-driven solution with an artificial intelligence (AI) and analytics engine that can offer timely and accurate clinical decision support. Operating on both the cloud and at the mobile edge, this new tool can identify the factors that affect quality of life of a patient. Ultimately, this offers personalised healthcare services as regards symptoms monitoring, treatment and rehabilitation. The project will conduct multinational pilot use case scenarios.
