REHOVOT, ISRAEL—April 8, 2019—The project, led by Prof. Eran Segal and his team in the Department of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics and Department of Molecular Cell Biology, aims to use state-of-the-art artificial intelligence technologies to generate personalized predictions for disease risk factors. The 10K project is a longitudinal study designed to collect lifestyle and clinical data from 10,000 individuals who will be recruited from the Israeli population, and is suitable for Hebrew speakers only.

Prof. Segal and his group believe that the analysis of the data obtained in this study will help in developing methodologies that will influence public health in the future.
