AI in Parkinson’s Disease (AIPD)

Project summary

The AIPD Doctoral Network will train a cohort of 14 Doctoral Candidates (DCs) in an intersectoral, international and interdisciplinary setting. The aim is to establish an international, interdisciplinary graduate school that educates the next generation of medical data scientists, with a strong translational focus bridging academia and industry.

We establish a comprehensive Training Program offering PhD students not only a robust foundation in data science, including AI/ML and digital health, but also a deep understanding of ethical, legal, and regulatory frameworks, including GDPR, the European Health Data Space and the AI Act. Our curriculum is unique in its integration of entrepreneurial thinking and a focus on Parkinson’s disease (PD) as an application field. At the same time, the methodologies and insights gained will have broader applications in various disorders and are thus applicable to other areas of healthcare.
