Smart Digital Guardian Angel enhancing cancer patient wellbeing and health status improvement following treatment

ONCORELIEF aims to deliver a framework that consists of three main sub-systems: 1) a back-end data platform where data are securely collected from heterogeneous sources, anonymised, annotated and stored, etc., 2) an AI engine built on top of the back-end platform, which consumes and analyses data, extracts important features, produces meaningful AI models and updates them accordingly, produces correlations, etc., 3) a downloadable application (ONCORELIEF Guardian Angel) available for portable devices, which will be connected with the ONCORELIEF platform and with patients’ sensing devices. It runs locally and uses models produced by the AI engine to extract insights on the patient life and condition and make suggestions. The GA may optionally send data back both for research-related reasons (another source of big data) and for computation offloading reasons (AI engine not powerful enough on the mobile phone). These models are then downloaded to personal, portable devices in order to locally analyze individual data and to generate QoL (Quality of Life) indices, recommendations and warnings for the patients using the application. The application has been implemented and a pilot phase is running. The first results, with real data obtained from cancer patients, were reported and they are very promising.
