This year, the Institute of molecular genetics and genetic engineering, University of Belgrade had the privilege of hosting a compelling lecture by dr Maja Stojiljkovic on the BETTER Project, offering molecular biology students an opportunity to observe the merging of healthcare and advanced technology.
Dr Stojiljkovic, participant of the BETTER project, talked about the idea of bringing the algorithms to the data by using Distributed Analytics (DA) which has great benefits such as the fact that data remains in the control of the data providers and research can leverage otherwise inaccessible data. By combining distributed artificial intelligence (federated learning) with health data including genomics of the three medical used cases, the project aims to develop innovative tools to support medical staff which will ultimately lead to improvement of citizen’s health outcome. Ensuring that the project remains compliant with GDPR standards was a key point of discussion, highlighting the commitment to privacy and ethical considerations in health data usage.
The lecture concluded with an interactive Q&A session, where students posed insightful questions about the project’s implementation and future developments, indicating a strong interest in how The BETTER Project could shape the future of healthcare research and practice in Europe and worldwide.
