Proposals should develop new, or improve existing, AI-based tools aimed at the prevention, containment or control of infectious-disease epidemics, or at better response management of health systems. Work should assemble FAIR datasets from across the EU and Associated Countries to train and test AI tools for surveillance and monitoring, differential diagnosis and triage, and predicting drug response and disease progression, while using European Health Data Space and European Open Science Cloud infrastructure and addressing cybersecurity, privacy, trustworthiness and equity. Proposals should also identify technical, operational and social barriers to cross-border data access, and engage end-users, policymakers and regulators in developing, testing and validating the resulting tools.
