What can our genetic background reveal? Unlocking new possibilities for neuromuscular disorder care through CoMPaSS-NMD approach. Our genetic background acts as an "instruction manual" for how we develop, function, and express various traits, including susceptibility to diseases, physical features, and even behaviors. For patients with neuromuscular disorders, this genetic diversity plays a crucial role [...]

Next Saturday, 13 April. Where? In Parma, Italy...and other 18 italian cities!! The aim of the event is to provide an update on the state of the art at national, regional [...]
Hereditary Neuromuscular Diseases are rare multifactorial conditions difficult to ascertain; it's noteworthy that ๐ฒ๐ฌ% of patients lack an accurate diagnosis. In Europe, ๐ฑ๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ people suffer from these diseases, with ๐ฏ๐ฌ% of cases leading to permanent disability. CoMPaSS-NMD proposes an innovative approach to diagnose these diseases based on Artificial Intelligence. "The goal is to [...]
Artificial Intelligenceย supports healthcare professionalsย and patients on their path to curing diseases and improving health. The interpretation of complex scenarios is facilitated by artificial intelligence platforms that share knowledge, shedding light on rare or little-known diseases, while preserving patient privacy. Knowledge derived from data helps doctors make decisions to treat patients and ensure a better [...]
