Bulding a Community of Interest: discussing the IDEA4RC Ecosystem for Federated Rare Cancer Research with potential users

14 July 2026

It was within this framework that, on 28 May 2026, MultiMed Engineers, together with the Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori of Milan—the project’s coordinating institution—and the Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria Consorziale Policlinico di Bari, organised the workshop “IDEA4RC: An Intelligent Data Ecosystem for Rare Cancers. Opportunities and Challenges when Deploying a Regulatory-Compliant System for Multi-Centre Secondary Use of Health Data.”

The event was hosted by the Unit of Maxillofacial Surgery, at the Policlinico di Bari.

Investigating AI modelling for predicting healthcare expenditure based on RWD

MultiMed Engineers assessed the potential of the GATEKEEPER AI Framework in analysing real world datasets (RWD) available at AReSS Puglia, that include information on healthcare expenditure related to multimorbid chronic patients.

Assessment of an e‑coaching intervention for active and healthy ageing in the Puglia Region

MultiMed Engineers conducted a series of analyses aimed at assessing the results of an e‑coaching program for active and healthy ageing directed to senior citizens in the Puglia Region, conducted in the frame of the GATEKEEPER Project.

Towards a digital human “behaviorome”

MultiMed Engineers carried out research activities aimed to investigate the application of Data Analytics technology to the capture, analysis and interpretation of human behavior as a determinant of health. The expectation is that such effort would conduct to the definition of a digital human behaviorome that could greatly improve clinical research, by providing more informative features on people health conditions, linked to a modifiable determinant that can be used for improving health policies.

HTA for oncology prognostic models

Cattura2 MultiMed Engineers further applied its expertise in conducting HTA studies with the MAFEIP Tool, addressing the oncology domain. The health and economic effects of using the BD2Decide prognostic models in comparison with usual TNM staging, have been evaluated on the basis of the Project’s dataset, which includes several hundreds of Head & Neck Cancer cases. Four treatment escalation and de-escalation scenarios have been analysed.

HTA shows City4Age approach as viable

MultiMed Engineers conducted a Health Technology Assessment for evaluating the frailty prevention scheme based on the City4Age Project’s early detection system. The results show that City4Age dominates the current standard of care from the Healthcare point of view, and exhibits a very cost-effective ICER of 3,380 €/QALY from the Societal perspective, allowing to conclude that the City4Age approach is viable.

Detecting frailty through smart-city datasets

Thanks to the availablity of experimental datasets from the City4Age Athens Pilot, MultiMed Engineers investigated how Machine Learning algorithms can be leveraged to early detect frailty onset in aging citizens, living in smart-cities.

Chat-bot development

MultiMed Engineers is experimenting the application of chat-bot technology to several business cases, including a NLP-based query language for a CRM database, and a conversational application to support a business-to-business “classifieds” system.

City4Age frailty and MCI risk model

MultiMed Engineers, with the support of Università di Pavia (Department of Internal Medicine and Therapeutics), has drafted the first version of the City4Age frailty and MCI risk model. This document, which is a public deliverable of the City4Age Project (D2.1), presents the selection of geriatrics indicators that are currently being used to elaborate the behavioural markers for MCI and frailty, envisaged by the Project.
