e-Health ongoing challenges European strategies in e-Health • a concise clinical document of crucial citizen’ health data • an enabling factor for an European infrastructurefor accessing and sharing citizens’ health data Ilias Iakovidis (Deputy Head of Unit – ICT for Health, DG INFOSO, EC) "European Commission activities in e-Health: The achievements and future prospects." Med-e-Tel Luxembourg, April 5, 2006
e-Health ongoing challenges The European Patient Summary (EPS) An infrastructure for a patient summary at European level • 104 health authorities • 106 users (clinicians and administrative staff) • 8*108 summaries Hospitals, clinics Laboratories General Practitioners Citizens Specialists Administrations, Assurance companies EPS e-Health Information System Ambulances Researches Home care services
e-Health ongoing challenges Requirements for such EU infrastructure • A Multilateral Solution • Virtual common infrastructure distributed among healthcare organizations • To enable access to citizens’ health data anytime and anywhere • Data Ownership • To let health authorities maintaining the control over the data produced by treating patients • The Principle of Subsidiarity • Flexible solution to overcome the heterogeneity of data and applications among existing systems and e-Health standards • Multilingualism • To capture information in a linguistically neutral manner (using structured data and medical coding systems) • Privacy • To assure that only authorized caregivers access citizens’ data
The TripCom project • IST STREP of 5th call of FP6, from April 2006 • Unit: Intelligent Content and Semantics Message Publishing Email Web Human net So-called Web Services Triple Space Machine net Communication platform for Semantic Web services based on Web principles: “Persistently publish and read semantic data that is denoted by unique identifiers”
The TripCom project • Develop an highly scalable, semantically enhanced communication infrastructure • Web Service technologies • Tuple Space technologies • Shared Space supported by parties • Persistent publication of information • Retrieval of information by decoupling in time, location and reference • Semantic Web technologies Triple Space Computing
The TripCom projectCapabilities of the TripCom infrastructure • Decentralized and Distributed Shared Space • Each healthcare party provides a node of the shared space • Highly scalable • Healthcare parties publish patient summary in their own node • Enforcing data ownership • Decoupling interactions in time, location and reference • Ensure a good level of fault-tolerance • SemanticInteroperability • To cope with heterogeneity among data, protocols and processes of e-Health standards and e-Health systems • Security and Trust mechanisms • To define local and global policies for accessing and sharing citizens’ data • To comply with the privacy regulations for the treatment of data
The TripCom projectWork Plan April 2006 • Project start April 2007 • Detailed definition of the European Patient Summary scenario February 2008 • First Prototype of the European Patient Summary over the Triple Space Computing March 2009 • Final Prototype of the European Patient Summary over the Triple Space Computing
The TripCom projectLong Term Vision • The European Patient Summary over TripCom enables • asynchronous • reliable • meaningful communication • among heterogeneous e-Health systems • If TripCom would prove to be a suitable middleware for the EPS • Then it could also be adopted as a newtechnology to accomplish European challenges in e-Health
