Description

Non- Hodgkin Lymphomas require rigorous treatment protocols, including intensive intravenous chemotherapy or targeted oral therapies. Secondary immunosuppression necessitates oral anti-infective prophylaxis (such as valacyclovir or Bactrim forte) to prevent opportunistic complications. However, the literature reports figures of up to 50% of patients experiencing adherence difficulties on oral therapies, compromising treatment efficacy, increasing the risk of severe infections, prolonged hospitalizations, and consequently, additional costs for the healthcare system. This project proposes to develop an innovative artificial intelligence (AI) tool, based on real-world data, to detect early signs of non-adherence and enable targeted intervention by healthcare teams. Our approach combines analysis of clinical data (patient, disease, dispensing history, laboratory results, drug interactions) and machine learning algorithms (supervised machine learning and neural networks) to identify at-risk profiles. The tool will generate a real-time alert and offer the patient's referring physician and coordinating nurse tailored recommendations, such as an automated reminder, a dedicated nursing consultation, etc. An intuitive interface will allow clinicians and nurses to visualize compliance trends and act quickly. This project relies on a multidisciplinary team (hematologists, advanced practice nurses (APNs), data scientists, AI experts) and patient partners to validate the tool in real-world conditions.
