However, the use of data in this context does raise concerns related to ethics, fairness and explainability that can only be properly addressed from an interdisciplinary point of view. Given the high death toll from cancer, there is an urgent need for research and innovation to better validate the use of data by health technologies and deliver concrete results faster.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"article-header\"><div class=\"image field field-node--field-image field-name-field-image field-type-image field-label-hidden\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\">At the forefront of health technologies research,\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\">INESC<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\">\u00a0is developing different projects under three major dimensions \u2013 prevention, diagnostics and treatment (see the diagram for a representative set).
