Horizon Europe is the European Union (EU) funding programme for the period 2021 – 2027, which targets the sectors of research and innovation. The programme’s budget is around € 95.5 billion, of which € 5.4 billion is from NextGenerationEU to stimulate recovery and strengthen the EU’s resilience in the future, and € 4.5 billion is additional aid.
Applying trustworthy-AI in healthcare contexts generate a multitude of benefits, including more effective disease management by optimised personalised treatments and assessment of health outcomes. Based on existing (pre)clinical evidence, proposals should focus on implementing clinical studies to validate AI-based solutions comparing their benefits versus standard-of-care treatments in non-communicable diseases. Proposals should pay special attention to the usability, performance and safety of the AI-based solutions developed, and above all to their clinical evaluation and (cost-)effectiveness in view of their inclusion into current clinical guidelines for personalised treatments following current EU regulatory framework.
Proposals should address all of the following:
Proposals should describe a pathway for establishing standard operating procedures for the integration of AI in health care. Additionally, they are encouraged to consider multidisciplinary approaches and allow for intersectoral representation, and they have to ensure that resulting data comply with the FAIR principles and data generated by the AI-based solutions are in line with established international standards.
Proposals should also focus on traceability, transparency, and auditability of AI algorithms in health.
International collaboration is encouraged, to ensure the comprehensiveness, interoperability and transferability of the developed solutions.
