The project will develop a set of tools to support medical decision, based on artificial intelligence algorithms. The project will work on a platform for commercial, scientific and academic use that will provide “consumers” access to results and explanations of diagnostic orders, filtered data sets access for investigators or scientists, and a knowledge base for academic purposes.
Keywords: Artificial intelligence · Computer-aided decision · Healthcare ethically in their context.
The project main mission is to help make medical diagnosis clearer and more reliable, supported by artificial intelligence. TAMI will develop a set of tools to support medical decision based on AI algorithms, that will explain to both clinician and researchers the diagnosis of a specific disease and its causes, focusing on cervical cancer, lung diseases and eye diseases.
The system will explain the information visually through images or text, by presenting information through a concept or sentence that makes sense to the user.
The tools developed in this project will potentially help to detect possible flaws and introduce improvements in the diagnosis support systems while helping to determine disease patterns and offering new sources of knowledge.

The project will be based on the following specific objectives involving the development of research in the following areas:
In order to accomplish that, TAMI will use clinical data, Including textual and image data, in order to design and validate interpretable machine learning models. During the project, different multimodal settings will be tested to enable a better understanding of the AI-based decisions. Moreover, the algorithms will be designed to generate self-explanatory AI-based decisions, minimize bias, and act ethically in their context.
