Title
AI Model for Predicting Outcomes in Incidences of Colorectal Cancer.

Summary
I intend to develop a model which predicts outcomes (mortality, recurrence) of incidences of colorectal cancer.

Aims

Neural networks can be trained to see patterns in data. Using measurable health metrics and historic outcomes, AI can be harnessed to quantify disease risk or predict symptomatic progression. The introduction and improvement of such algorithms has the power to inform decision making in healthcare for both individuals and physicians.
