Dr Sparano highlights the importance of collaborations between publicly funded research groups, which provide access to trial participants, clinical outcome data, and biospecimens, and companies with expertise in diagnostic test development. He emphasizes the need for cohorts large enough to train AI models and perform external validation in independent populations.
