On November 18-19, 2025, MultiMed Engineers (MME) had the pleasure of joining the 1st plenary meeting of the Horizon Europe LATE-AYA project in Madrid, hosted at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid.

LATE-AYA is building an AI-enabled, holistic follow-up pathway to understand and address late effects of treatment in adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors, combining digital phenotyping, secure data spaces and multi-component interventions.

Our invitation stems from MME’s role in conceiving the overall BD4QoL concept based on digital HRQoL monitoring, data analytics and personalised interventions for head & neck cancer survivors, that informed the design of the BD4QoL platform. During the plenary we contributed to the parallel LATE-AYA session on “How the architecture will support the clinical study”, sharing lessons learned on digital phenotyping, AI-based behaviour analysis pipelines, chatbot-based counselling, and resource-based intervention planners.

At the same time, the meeting was a valuable opportunity for us to explore how BD4QoL results and our “digital follow-up” concepts can be transferred and adapted from head & neck cancer to the AYA survivorship domain — extending HRQoL-driven follow-up, self-empowerment tools and privacy-preserving analytics to a younger population with specific medical and psychosocial needs.

We are grateful to the LATE-AYA consortium for the invitation and the rich discussions, and we look forward to continuing this collaboration to make shared, EHDS-ready architectures a common asset for cancer survivorship care across Europe.
