  1. SHARE: Structuring and supporting Healthgrids Activities and Research in Europe: developing a roadmap Ignacio Blanquer (Valencia University of Technology) on Behalf of the SHARE Consortium

  2. Contents • Background. • SHARE Objectives and Consortium. • Expected Results. • Conclusions.

  3. Background • The Concept of Grids for Health in Europe Took-off on 2002, Playing the HealthGrid Association a Key Role Since Then. • This Association has Organised and Promoted the HealthGrid Conference Series, Being this Year the Fourth Edition (http://valencia2006.healthgrid.org). • The HealthGrid Association Edited the HealthGrid Whitepaper (http://whitepaper.healthgrid.org) in 2004 Outlining the Concept, Benefits and Opportunities Offered by Applying Grids in Different Applications in Healthcare. • SHARE Aims at Identifying the Important Milestones to Achieve the Wide Deployment and Adoption of HealthGrids in Europe to Address the Issues Identified in the Action Plan for a European e-Health Area Described in the Communication COM(2004) 356.

  4. SHARE Objectives • The HealthGrid Vision Relies on the Setting up of Grid Infrastructures for Medical Research and Healthcare, which Implies: • The Availability of Grid Services, Most Notably for Data and Knowledge Management. • The Deployment of These Services on Infrastructures Involving Healthcare Centres Such as Hospitals, Medical Research Laboratories and Public Health Administrations. • The Definition and Adoption of International Standards and Interoperability Mechanisms for Medical Information Stored on the HealthGrid.

  5. SHARE Objectives • The Mission of SHARE is to Precise the Target, the Current Situation, the Key Gaps, Barriers and Opportunities, Short Term Achievements and Key Elements and Actors to Reach the Vision. • The Roadmap will Cover Issues Regarding Networks, Infrastructure Deployment, Grid Operating Systems, Services to End Users, Standards Requirements, Security, Legislative development and Economic Issues.

  6. SHARE Consortium • CNRS/IN2P3. • HealthGrid. • Universidad Politécnica de Valencia. • University of the West of England. • Research Centre for Computer and Law (CRID) – University of Namur. • European Health Management Association. • Argonne National Laboratory. • Academia Sinica Grid Computing Centre. • APAMI (Asia-Pacific Association for Medical Informatics).

  7. SHARE WPs WP3: Infrastructure & Security WP6 Baseline RoadMap II RoadMap I WP5 Health Grid Framework App. Roadmap WP4: Health Policy, Ethical, Soc. and Econ. Health Grid Roadmap Baseline RoadMap II RoadMap I

  8. SHARE Products • Baseline • Evolution of the HealthGrid Whitepaper: The State of the Art. • The Predictable or Foreseeable Development of Ongoing Activities. • Roadmaps • Destination, Transportation, “Whistle Stops”, Starting Point, Travellers and Difficulties in the Trip. • Analysis of the Current Situation, Requirements, Actors, Needs, Opportunities and Barriers from the Technological, Legal, Ethical and End-User’s Point of View.

  9. Production Cycle Analysis of Technical, Ethical and Legal Requirements BASELINE ROADMAP I Check ROADMAP I with the Apps. USE CASE SCENARIOS APPLICATION ROADMAP HEALTHGRID ROADMAP Validation of the Roadmap II and Revised Requirements ROADMAP II

  10. Baseline • Projects, Teams, Actions, Programmes, etc. Comprising the Activity on Grids in Health. • General Conceptual Framework. • Architecture to Deploy HealthGrids. • Research on Components to Tackle Unsolved Problems. • Integrative View of Biomedical Data and Knowledge.

  11. Roadmap I • Technical Requirements. • Infrastructure, Security and Standards. • Ethical and Legal Requirements. • Obtained by Contacting the HealthGrid Framework.

  12. Use Cases • Use Case Scenarios • Identification and Definition of the Key Applications. • Precise Although Relevant in a Broad Scope. • Identify a General Framework That Could Cover Most Requirements of eHealth Applications. • The Problem Must Be Realistic and Answer to a Real User Need. • Input Sources: Other Projects, Users, Authorities, Resource Providers.

  13. Use Cases • Content • Define Users, Targets, Data, Current Procedure and Benefits. • Define Technological Needs, Resources and Legal Framework, from the Info in the Roadmap. • Identify Bottlenecks, Unsatisfied Requirements, Production Needs, Legal Constraints, etc. • Main Areas: Epidemiology and Innovative Medicine • Selected According Impact on Public Health Policies and the improvement of Drug Efficiency. • Other Areas will be Analysed.

  14. Epidemiology • Management of the Health Status at the Population Level. • E.g. Epidemiology could be the Analysis of Distributed Broad Clinical Databases for Population Studies. • Clinical Databases Could be Primary Care, Hospitals, etc. • Population Studies Could be Drug Efficiency, Health Monitoring, Cancer Mortality, etc. • Population Could be Region, City, Insurance Co., etc. • Different Tasks Involve Different Requirements • E.g Medical Imaging, Laboratory, Genomic Data.

  15. Innovative Medicine • New Processes for Developing New Ways of Fighting Diseases. • E.g. Drug Discovery • Discovery Process Could be In-Silico Docking, Alignment Screening, Protein Synthesis and Simulation, etc. • Targets Could be Rare or Neglected Diseases, Tumour Stirpes, etc. • Requirements Could be on Computation, Storage, Distributed Processing, Security, etc.

  16. HealthGrid Roadmap • Roadmap II • Validation of the Technological Roadmap With Respect to the Application Roadmap. • This Validation will be Done by the Stakeholders of the Field. • Proposal of Revised and Extended Requirements. • HealthGrid Roadmap • Compilation of the Roadmap II and the Application Roadmap.

  17. Conclusions • SHARE is an Activity to Search, Consolidate and Analyse the Trends of Research on Grid Technologies Applied to Health. • SHARE Needs Inputs from the Most Relevant Actors of the Field at World-Wide Level. • SHARE Will Cover All the Issues Regarding HealthGrids, From Technical to Legal or Economical. • Results will be Analysed According the Specific Requirements of Two Application Areas.
