Role within REDDIE
In REDDIE, UNIPD is the leader of work package 5, whose main objective is to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to develop new computational tools that enhance the use of real-world data (RWD) and simulated data for supporting or extending the evidence of clinical trials. In particular, UNIPD will enhance the state-of-the-art methodologies for conducting retrospective observational studies with RWD and building data-driven simulation models.
