Gérer des données numériques au niveau d'un pays est une gageure, notamment dans les pays émergents sujets à des coupures électriques, à un réseau internet peu fiable et à faible débit. Dans ce contexte difficile, on se propose de réaliser un système de gestion de données numériques sûr et fiable, basé sur les systèmes complexes.
Une première application consistera à gérer la plus grosse cohorte médicale mondiale, réunie par la société JIVA Ayurveda :
JIVA AYURDEDA is a healthcare organization which serves 1,800 cities in India through 50 clinics, backed by one of the largest telemedicine networks in the world with 200 practitioners consulting online on www.jiva.com, free of charge. Their Faridabad manufacturing unit produces over 500 classical Ayurvedic formulations and ships them to patients according to relevant prescriptions. Doctor Partap CHAUHAN, JIVA founder and director, teaches Ayurvedic medicine all over the world, and hosts his own shows on Indian television, gathering weekly one hundred million faithful viewers…
During his trips to France, Dr. Chauhan had the opportunity to discuss with Jean-Pierre Gerbaulet about the interest of giving Ayurveda more scientific grounds. Indeed, this medicine is essentially based on three to four thousand years of statistical experience of what actually works, and thus derives, like any science, from empirical observations. Whereas countless experimental data at its disposal may encourage to design a scientific model, Ayurveda prefers to use a holistic model deeply grounded in Hinduist mystic tradition. This positioning confers on it a rich global character, but it baffles Western practitioners and patients.
According to Dr. Chauhan, India’s eminent role in science on the international scene, particularly in medicine, would justify that more scientific explanations of the methods used by Ayurveda be proposed to Indian middle class citizens with a Western education. This approach would also facilitate the promotion of Ayurvedic medicine outside India. In this view, Dr. Chauhan suspects that the growing success of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in the West is imputable to the work accomplished since the sixties by Western academics and practitioners, especially on acupuncture and on hypnosis in anesthesiology, whereas Ayurveda is not engaged in a similar approach .
Dans le cadre de l'UniTwin CS-DC de l'UNESCO (regroupant plus de 120 universités dans 38 pays), ce stage en apprentissage consistera à mettre en oeuvre le projet RADAR sur une cohorte d'environ 1 million de personnes, et préparer sur chaque machine la mise en oeuvre d'intelligence artificielle à base de Deep Learning (réseaux neuronaux profonds) pour que le réseau de machines soit capable de détecter l'émergence de nouvelles maladies ou d'épidémies.
