The Dutch Cancer Society (KWF) has granted funding to our joint project "AI-DOC: Artificial Intelligence for better detection of cancer". This is a joint proposal between the Primary Care departments at the Amsterdam UMC location AMC (Prof. dr. Henk van Weert) and that of Utrecht UMC (Prof. Dr. Niek de Wit) together with our Medical Informatics department (Prof. dr. Ameen Abu-Hanna and Dr. Martijn Schut). The proposal belongs to the "unique high-risk" funding scheme and aims at detecting early clues of cancer in free-text consultation notes of primary care physicians.
