The overall objective of  this proposal is to explore the prevalence of drug combinations that can lead to an increased risk of side effects in Region Kalmar County, using algorithms from Janusmed knowledge databases, and to analyze how clinically relevant the risk classifications of the systems are. The initial exploration will be supported with machine learning-based analysis with special focus on knowledge discovery.

What is a seed project?

A seed project is a minor project funded by a knowledge environment or a research group at the university. The aim is to launch and promote excellent research. Depending on the financier, a seed project may be to idenfify new or deepen existing collaborations, preferably cross-disciplinary ones, to explore possible research issues in a feasibility study, to collect empirical material, or to write an application for external funding.
