Combining biomedical data of osteoarthritis patients

The APPROACH project brings together European clinical centers, basic research institutes, small- and medium-sized businesses and pharmaceutical companies. Together, they will combine biomedical data from more than 10 000 people with and without osteoarthritis into a unified bioinformatics platform with the aim of identifying different OA phenotypes. These phenotypes will then be validated in a longitudinal cohort using existing and newly-developed biomarkers. This will allow for the development of guidelines for differentially diagnosing the right patient for the right treatment.
