Synthetic hematological data over federated computing frameworks (SYNTHEMA)

Project overview

SYNTHEMA aims establish a cross-border hub to develop and validate Artificial Intelligence techniques for anonymisation and synthetic data generation in rare hematological diseases. SYNTHEMA will generate reliable, high-quality synthetic data that can shape new virtual patients to further enhance diagnostic capacity, assess treatment options and predict outcomes in rare hematological diseases.
