ENABLING TECHNOLOGY ALLIANCE PARTNERS

610,000+ people die from cancer each year

Can we predict skeletal related injuries in patients with bone metastases? How does a patient's weight impact their survival chances post diagnosis? What are the signs of radiation pneumonitis in patients with interstitial lung disease? Can we create a tool for standardized identification of anti-neoplastic regimens? What factors lead to relapse in triple negative breast cancer patients? Can we detect neuroendocrine prostate cancer with a biopsy from longitudinal patient records? Should patients in their 80s diagnosed with esophageal cancer get chemotherapy? How does hormone replacement therapy affect postmenopausal women?

Cancer Still Touches Us All

Despite incredible progress we still have so many open questions in cancer research and care.

CAIA's Paradigm Shift

Artificial intelligence is "data hungry," but patient privacy is paramount.

CAIA's federated learning system is the breakthrough, allowing us to train powerful AI models while patient data never leave cancer centers, are not shared with our tech partners, and are never sold.

Predicting prostate cancer lineage plasticity from longitudinal electronic medical record data

Cancer Measurement Foundation Model

Large Language Models (LLM) for cancer EHR

CAIA DataVoyager

Integrative predictor of immunotherapy outcomes from clinical lab measurements

Dynamic prediction of clinical outcomes using longitudinal integration of EHR data

Identifying predictors of response to IDH inhibitor therapy in high-grade IDH-mutant astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma

Predicting Skeletal Related Events in Patients with Bone Metastases

CAIA dramatically accelerates research

Our multi-institution governance system, common data model, and federated learning platform let scientists do in weeks what used to take years. The CAIA use case committee prioritizes use cases lead by faculty at each institution.
