Title
Fuzzy matching of OCT data for AI-based decision support of
Multiple Sclerosis treatment (Research)
Abstract
DSI UHasselt has developed AI algorithms that analyze OCT scans, which are a type of eye
scan, in the context of treating Multiple Sclerosis (MS) disease. The potential value of our
algorithms in MS treatment is clear, but due to technical constraints, it was impossible to fully
leverage the extensive dataset we have constructed over the years. This means that although the
potential is there, we have not yet succeeded in creating methods that are robust enough for
implementation in the hospital. In this CONCEPT project, we will solve this bottleneck by employing
fuzzy matching algorithms, thus disclosing the full information in our dataset, increasing model
robustness and opening up new valorization pathways.
