NUM-MB EC
NUM-MB role:
Advice on adapting patient information, consent and secondary use documents regarding the linkage of external data (health insurance funds, cancer registries, ePA)
Paediatrics-specific methodological guidance for researchers within the NUM
- Members of the interdisciplinary team provide support with:
- individual planning
- implementation and
- evaluation of paediatric clinical epidemiological studies - The team also creates and develops:
- tutorials and webinars on paediatric-specific issues, as well as
- health apps for use in paediatric therapy and care
Methodology Toolbox:
A comprehensive toolkit of methods and instruments, comprising internationally standardised and established screening and diagnostic tools for assessing the health and clinical conditions of children and young people.
- Generative AI enables effective, resource-efficient structuring and classification of unstructured data
- Areas of application: data imputation, curation and augmentation; process automation; matching different data sets; metadata corrections
- Machine Learning enables the identification of non-linear and complex associations in complex models and, provided there is sufficient data, can be applied without prior knowledge (‘hypothesis-free’).
- Areas of application: classification and predictive models, causal inference
- Practical advice on the use of the latest Machine Learning and generative AI methods in relation to clinical and clinical-epidemiological data
- Assistance in identifying suitable project partners
