PHEMS was proud to contribute to the 5th European OHDSI Symposium, “Scaling up reliable evidence across Europe”, on June 3rd, 2024, aboard the historic Steam Ship Rotterdam in the Netherlands. The event brought together researchers and stakeholders from across Europe to exchange knowledge and highlight progress on the use of the OMOP Common Data Model (OMOP-CDM).
The innovative work of PHEMS was on display with a plenary presentation by Sofia Bazakou from The Hyve plus two poster presentations highlighting the innovative work of PHEMS in pediatric health data sharing and privacy-enhancing technologies.
The Hyve presented “PHEMS: Validating Novel Federated Ecosystems for Analytics and Synthetic Data Generation Methods”.
This poster highlighted the development of a federated data ecosystem across European pediatric hospitals to support clinical research in cardiology benchmarking, pediatric sepsis, and hemophilia. It focused on using real-world data, OMOP-CDM standardization, and GDPR-compliant data sharing to foster secure cross-border research collaboration.
VEIL.AI presented “Enhancing Pediatric Care Data Collaboration through Privacy-Enhanced Federated Learning and Anonymization”
This poster highlighted advanced anonymization and federated learning techniques that protect data privacy without compromising research value. These innovations are especially vital for sensitive applications such as pediatric disease prediction, where traditional data sharing is limited.
These contributions reflect PHEMS’ commitment to ethical, secure, and impactful pediatric health research – leveraging technology to connect data, researchers, and care across Europe.
