AI-POD

AI-POD stands out as a pioneering tool aimed at transforming the way obesity-related cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are predicted and managed. At its core, AI-POD leverages advanced AI to develop a novel risk prediction score and a Clinical Decision Support System, enriching these tools with comprehensive patient data for enhanced accuracy and personalization. It introduces a Citizen App that allows individuals to actively participate in their health management by monitoring lifestyle and diet, integrating these data back into the AI models for continuous improvement.

The significance of AI-POD is profound. It not only aims to improve clinical outcomes by personalizing treatment plans but also projects substantial reductions in healthcare costs, potentially saving billions annually across Europe. By integrating cutting-edge technology with ethical considerations and real-world validation, AI-POD is set to revolutionize the standard of care for patients, offering both clinicians and citizens powerful tools to combat CVD linked to obesity.

• Personalized risk prediction: AI-POD uses a novel AI-based risk score to provide personalized predictions of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks associated with obesity. This helps clinicians tailor prevention and treatment strategies to individual needs;

• Citizen empowerment: through the AI-POD Citizen App, individuals can monitor their own health metrics, such as diet and lifestyle, which feeds back into the AI system to refine risk predictions and health management strategies;

• Advanced imaging integration: AI-POD integrates cutting-edge CT technology and other clinical data to enhance the prediction of obesity-related CVD risks, supporting more accurate and timely interventions;

• Real-world validation: the project conducts multi-center studies to validate the effectiveness of the AI-POD risk prediction tools and CDSS, comparing them against current methods to ensure they offer tangible improvements in patient care.

Each of these applications demonstrates AI-POD’s commitment to enhancing healthcare outcomes by integrating AI into the management of obesity-related cardiovascular diseases, thereby making significant strides towards more personalized and effective healthcare solutions

The AI-POD tool is available at no cost. This makes it an accessible option for both healthcare professionals and individuals interested in managing obesity-related cardiovascular risks. Being a free tool, it aims to facilitate wider adoption and use, which can enhance its impact in healthcare settings and personal health management. This pricing strategy supports AI-POD's mission to improve public health outcomes by leveraging advanced AI technologies without financial barriers.
