The Challenge

Identifying side effects in medicine is crucial for patient safety, but the current system has limitations.

  • It relies on patients or doctors manually reporting adverse effects.
  • Due to high costs, in-depth investigations are only initiated when there is already strong suspicion of problems.

The Solution

An AI-powered engine will enable researchers from SDU and Ghent University to analyze over 10,000 potential links between drugs and side effects.

  • AI will generate a prioritized list of possible but yet-undiscovered side effects based on scientific data.
  • This provides health authorities with a better foundation for investigating potential risks and improving patient safety.
  • Today, side effect detection in the EU is unstructured, but USE can change this and potentially save lives.

AI can analyze thousands of potential correlations between drugs and side effects within one week—a process that is currently impossible using traditional methods.
