1. Data Management & Integration

  • Upload and organize harmonized biomarker datasets (PROMINENT).
  • Store EEG, sleep, and neuroimaging data in the EBRAINS Bucket.
  • Convert all datasets to .csv, .json, or .h5 formats for easier AI processing.
  • Implement automated data ingestion scripts to streamline updates from new sources.
  • Set up data harmonization methods to ensure consistency across different sources.
  • Enable Federated Learning to train AI models on multi-center data without sharing raw patient data (GDPR-compliant).

2. AI-Based Risk Prediction & Diagnosis

  • Implement machine learning models for dementia risk stratification (LETHE).
  • Develop AI-based probabilistic models for filling in missing data (KNN Imputer, Bayesian approaches).
  • Train AI models using multi-modal data (biomarkers, EEG, MRI, and lifestyle factors).
  • Store pretrained models in the /models/ directory for future use.
  • Implement real-time AI-based diagnostic annotation for clinicians.
  • Add confidence intervals to AI predictions for clinical decision support.
  • Integrate Explainable AI (SHAP analysis) to ensure transparency and clinician trust.
  • Implement deep learning for pattern recognition in neuroimaging data (MRI/PET-based feature extraction).
  • Explore the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) for medical report summarization.

3. EEG, Neuroimaging & Sleep Analysis

  • Process EEG/MEG data using MNE-Python (AI-Mind).
  • Apply EEG biomarkers for dementia detection (spectral analysis, connectivity metrics).
  • Integrate sleep monitoring data from ADIS (smartwatches, headbands) as an early biomarker.
  • Use MRI volumetric analysis for assessing brain atrophy in high-risk patients.
  • Implement functional MRI (fMRI) analysis to link neuroanatomical changes with cognitive function.

4. Clinical Validation & Pilot Testing

  • Design a pilot study to validate AI-generated diagnostic scores.
  • Recruit a multicenter clinical validation cohort across European research hospitals.
  • Compare AI-based diagnoses with clinician-based diagnoses to measure performance.
  • Develop validation metrics (e.g., AUROC, precision-recall, false positive rates).
  • Conduct a prospective study to test predictive accuracy over time.
  • Implement clinician feedback loops to refine the AI model based on real-world usage.
  • Publish validation results in peer-reviewed journals for credibility.

5. Ethical, Regulatory & GDPR Compliance

  • Ensure AI models comply with the EU AI Act for medical applications.
  • Implement privacy-preserving AI techniques (Federated Learning, Differential Privacy).
  • Develop patient data anonymization pipelines before AI processing.
  • Secure ethics approval for data usage in clinical applications.
  • Set up consent management systems for patient data contributions.
  • Ensure interoperability with hospital Electronic Health Records (EHRs).

6. EBRAINS Deployment & Cloud Infrastructure

  • Deploy AI models on EBRAINS Cloud for real-time inference.
  • Set up Jupyter Notebooks in EBRAINS Lab for collaborative development.
  • Automate model training pipelines using GitHub Actions or EBRAINS’ HPC.

7. Interactive Web App for Clinicians & Researchers

  • Develop an interactive web-based AI diagnostic tool (Flask, FastAPI, or Streamlit).
  • Allow clinicians to input biomarker data and get real-time AI predictions.
  • Enable PDF report generation for clinical decision-making.
