❤️ How can AI help predict cardiovascular risk and support more personalised prevention?

🤝 Human Technopole has joined CHAIN, a European network bringing together 53 partners from 20 countries to advance the safe and effective use of AI in cardiovascular care. Led by our Emanuele Di Angelantonio, Head of the Health Data Science Research Centre, HT will lead a use case validating a generative AI model across different populations and healthcare settings.

🔬 The work builds on HT’s Cardiovascular & Metabolic Diseases Flagship Research Programme, extending its research on disease trajectories into a European validation effort.

HT will lead one of six use cases in the European collaboration, validating a generative AI model to support cardiovascular prevention across different healthcare settings.
