Important results from the project

The ASSIST project has strived towards one long-term objective, where by enabling the sharing of medical data without compromising patient privacy, we create the conditions for developing innovative AI-based clinical decision support. The ambition is to meet an aging population and the ever-increasing need for specialized hospital care this entails. The project has therefore developed tools for collection, annotation, selection and sharing of medical data in collaboration between academia, healthcare and industry. These will be implemented nationally during step 3.

Expected long term effects

The project has achieved all set performance targets during stage 2 and considers itself to have thereby created the necessary technical and organizational maturity in order to be able to implement this during stage 3 as an activities which, after the end of the project, should be a natural part of Swedish FoI activities where all parts of the society affected finds great benefit in the operation. In concrete terms, the project has generated several products that will be further developed and above all a powerful infrastructure for the intended data sharing.

Approach and implementation

That the ASSIST-project was carried out via challenge drive innovation has been central in many ways. Primarily because the level of risk in the project´s objectives was and still is high. The long-term effects of infrastructure developed also depend on active participation from various branches of society, something that means that the successful outcome even more shows that the project was carried out in the right format.
