With our project, "Integrated Analysis and Collaboration Tool: Platform for Medical Image Data Analysis and Coordinated Collaboration with AI and Open Source (InterACT)," we aim to make a significant contribution to the digital transformation of healthcare and the broader economy. Building on the REACT-EU funded project "Digital Photon Counting CT Innovation Platform NRW" (funding code RA-1-1-016), InterACT seeks to advance the use of digital photon counting CT and other medical imaging modalities across sites in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW). Our goal is to establish an open-source platform that fosters cross-disciplinary collaboration and enables more efficient, AI-powered analysis of medical image data. By doing so, we will address the challenge of fragmented software solutions and ensure that innovative approaches are sustainably integrated into routine healthcare.

This initiative will not only drive forward the field of innovative medicine in NRW and beyond but also unlock new regional value creation potential, positioning NRW as a leader in the digitalization of medical research and care. InterACT aims to serve as a flagship project demonstrating NRW's capacity for cutting-edge digital healthcare innovation. Through close collaboration with IT experts, scientists, and clinicians, we are creating a comprehensive platform that will elevate the quality and efficiency of medical imaging research and practice. Ultimately, this effort contributes to a more networked, transparent, and effective medical research landscape, capable of meeting 21st-century challenges while prioritizing the well-being of patients and society.

Project start was the 1st August 2024
