Swiss BrAIn Health Plan (SFCNS)
[Status: Ongoing]
The flagship initiative, Swiss BrAIn Health Plan: Augmented Intelligence for Personalized Brain Health, aims to transform dementia prevention in Switzerland using advanced AI. The system generates personalized dementia risk profiles for individuals with early symptoms (SCCs), leveraging data from clinical evaluation and digital wearables to guide self-management and digital therapeutic support. Crucially, the Health Ethics & Policy Lab leads a key sub-project to develop an Ethical and Policy framework that addresses the ELSI challenges of AI in brain health, ensuring the technology is transparent, fair, and compliant (e.g., with the EU AI Act) for responsible, scalable deployment.

Project Description
The Health Ethics & Policy Lab will be leading Sub-Project 5: Ethical and Policy Foundations for AI in Brain Health (SP5). Specfically, to develop a framework to tackle the ethical, legal, and societal challenges of AI in brain health. This ensures that technologies remain transparent, fair, inclusive, and comply with emerging regulations such as the EU AI Act. By integrating ethics and policy from the outset, we aim to foster patient trust, provide healthcare providers with clear guidelines for responsible data use, and offer industry partners ethical validation that strengthens market credibility.
To come.
