The UNICA4EU initiative is dedicated to harnessing the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance the battle against childhood cancer throughout Europe. This project has led to the creation of an extensive knowledge base, which stands as a pivotal resource for stakeholders interested in the intersection of AI and childhood cancer management. This meticulously curated platform compiles insights from a diverse group of contributors, including caregivers, medical professionals, AI developers, and representatives from technology and industry sectors. It has been carefully designed to put the user at the very center, aiming to both educate and empower all participants in the realm of pediatric oncology.
The knowledge base is structured around two principal features:
- A decision tree: This intuitive visual tool provides a clear roadmap for the comprehensive process of designing, developing, testing, and deploying AI solutions in the context of childhood cancer.
- Thematic bookshelves: Organized by specific topics, these sections gather relevant information, underscore the challenges encountered, and offer practical advice on the application of AI across various facets of managing the disease.
With its user-friendly interface, the knowledge base is poised to become an indispensable tool, encouraging ongoing engagement from the community. The launch of this platform by the UNICA4EU consortium marks the beginning of a broader endeavor aimed at exploiting AI technologies to enhance the speed and quality of care provided to children facing cancer.
