The ARTEMIS project aims to consolidate existing computational mechanistic and machine-learning models at different scales to deliver "virtual twins" embedded in a clinical decision support system (CDSS).
The CDSS will provide clinically meaningful information to clinicians for a more personalized management of the whole spectrum of Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD).
The ARTEMIS will contribute to the earlier management of MAFLD patients by prognosing the development of more advanced forms of the disease and cardiovascular comorbidities, promoting active surveillance of patients at risk.
The system will predict the impact of novel drug treatments or procedures, or simply better life habits.
The system will therefore not only serve as a clinical decision aid tool but also as an educational tool for patients, to promote better nutritional and lifestyle behaviors.
