The Project: Data Ecosystem
The PHEMS project is at the forefront of revolutionizing health data management across Europe. Our Data Ecosystem is a pioneering effort to create a decentralized, open health data environment that transcends traditional boundaries and transforms the landscape of healthcare research and innovation the with application of machine learning to federated data.
Decentralization at Its Core
Our ecosystem is founded on the principle of decentralization. By enabling data controllers at various health institutions to maintain sovereignty over their data, we ensure compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other national laws. This approach not only safeguards patient privacy but also empowers institutions to collaborate without relinquishing control over their data.
Innovative Data Synthetization and Anonymization
Central to our ecosystem is the cutting-edge technique of data synthetization and anonymization. We’ve developed advanced methods to anonymize and synthesize health data, ensuring that researchers and innovators can access vital information while fully protecting patient confidentiality. This innovation overcomes the traditional barriers to data sharing, paving the way for a new era of secure, yet accessible health data.
Federated Analytics: A Collaborative Approach
Federated analytics is a cornerstone of our ecosystem, facilitating collaborative research and analysis without the need for data centralization. By enabling the analysis of health data across different institutions while the data remains in its original location, we ensure a higher level of data security and privacy.
Empowering Health Data Usage
The PHEMS Data Ecosystem is not just about data security and privacy; it’s also about usability and accessibility. We aim to make health data more accessible to researchers, SMEs, and innovators, fostering an environment where the sharing of information leads to groundbreaking advancements in healthcare.
