Analyzing Electronic Health Records

• AI enables researchers to analyze vast amounts of health data generated in hospitals
• Machine learning models can identify patterns across thousands of patient records
• European hospitals use AI for retrospective data analysis to improve care guidelines
• Examples include analyzing ICU data for early sepsis predictors and developing prognostic models

COVID-19 Applications

• During the pandemic, many EU institutes applied AI to medical imaging and patient data
• These systems helped predict outcomes and optimize treatments for COVID-19 patients
• The rapid deployment demonstrated AI's potential in responding to healthcare crises

Pharmaceutical Research

• Hospital research centers partner with pharma companies for AI-driven trial design
• The European Commission highlights that AI is transforming the pharmaceutical lifecycle
• Applications include accelerating drug discovery and automating pharmacovigilance
• Hospitals contribute by running AI-enhanced clinical trials and monitoring adverse events

Digital Twins and Simulations

• Emerging area: creating "digital twins" of patients using AI models
• These virtual patient models simulate treatment outcomes before real-world implementation
• EU's Horizon-funded projects are exploring these advanced applications
• Future development will be supported by the European Health Data Space
