The project aims to comprehensively evaluate social factors impacting diagnosis and survival, and use machine learning to create...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (CFDA 93.121 - Oral Diseases and Disorders Research) provides $438,768 to Temple University to develop linked medical-dental electronic records and create real-time clinical tools to improve oral health care and reduce oral health disparities, particularly among underserved populations including Hispanics, non-Hispanic Blacks, and rural non-Hispanic Whites. The project aims to: 1) develop real-world AI-ready datasets to understand and reduce oral health disparities; 2) create a clinical tool that provides real-time medical history, lab values, and medication information to dental providers; and 3) predict oral cancer risk using federated learning across multiple dental institutions. By leveraging existing electronic health records and electronic dental records, the research team seeks to better integrate medical and dental care to improve oral and overall health outcomes.
