UN Sustainable Development Goals(SDG)
This innovation contributes to the following SDG(s)
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL 3
Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages

The UN explains: "Significant strides have been made in increasing life expectancy and reducing some of the common killers responsible for child and maternal mortality.

Major progress has also been made on increasing access to clean water and sanitation, reducing malaria, tuberculosis, polio and the spread of HIV/AIDS.

However, many more efforts are needed to control a wide range of diseases and address many different persistent and emerging health issues."

Description of Project CoMPaSS-NMD
The CoMPaSS-NMD project creates novel and universal tools for the diagnostic stratification of patients suffering from Hereditary NeuroMuscular Diseases (HNMDs) aiming at personalised treatments. HNMDs often occurs in young people, causing long-term disability and early death; these conditions bring lack of participation, need for permanent assistance and may require long-term institutionalisation. Multidimensional HNMD data - clinical, genetic, histopathological and MRI – will be provided by third-level clinical centers in Italy, France, Germany, Finland and the United Kingdom as part of the European Reference Network for Rare Neurological Diseases. Computational tools for high-dimensional clustering will be applied in an unsupervised learning approach using the internal structure of data to define groups of similar patients. Classification model averaging and integration techniques for federated learning-inspired model building and novel HNMD-specific descriptors of histopathological images will be implemented. The adoption of this multidimensional view has the potential to increment the diagnostic rate of HNMDs by 30% and foster effective actions by European national health systems. As main project outcome, the CoMPaSS-NMD Atlas Platform will be a cost-effective AI-based application providing precise clinical characterization and diagnosis, with data remaining publicly available for anyone in the research and health community to use. The project will deliver Recommendations and Guidelines for stratification-based patient management to offer superior standard-of-care for diagnosis and prognosis and assist in planning clinical trials. It will follow a user-centred, co-design methodology with a strong stakeholder engagement and networking with other project consortia. The project engages partners with clinical, biotechnological, ICT, AI, ethical and legal, communication and exploitation competences: 6 clinical/academic centres, 1 academic, 4 industrial partners.
