3 – EGEE 08 – BBH Workshop - Istanbul – 2008/09/22 3 SHARE to define milestones for wide deployment and adoption of healthgrids in Europe action plan for a European e-Health Area The project had to assess the status quo and set targets identify key gaps, barriers and opportunities establish short and long term objectives key developments actors to achieve the vision SHARE Objectives

4 – EGEE 08 – BBH Workshop - Istanbul – 2008/09/22 4 Background The concept of “grids for health” was described in the HealthGrid White Paper in 2005. It set out a vision of the opportunities and potential benefits offered by applying grids in different areas of biomedicine and healthcare. The HealthGrid vision relies on the setting up of grid infrastructures for medical research, healthcare, and the life sciences HealthGrid itself arose from a number of projects in grid applications to medicine and healthcare from about 2001 onwards. They spanned: health informatics: screening, epidemiology, public health, etc. clinical informatics: diagnostics, decision support, care planning, etc. biomedical informatics: a new field!

5 – EGEE 08 – BBH Workshop - Istanbul – 2008/09/22 5 Background “Grid infrastructures for biomedical informatics” implies: the availability of grid services, most notably for data and knowledge management; the deployment of these services on infrastructures involving healthcare centres (e.g. hospitals), medical research laboratories and public health administrations; and the definition and adoption of international standards and interoperability mechanisms for medical information stored on the grid. Biomedical informatics a concurrent development convergence and synergy between medical informatics and bioinformatics leading to two new approaches to medicine …

7 – EGEE 08 – BBH Workshop - Istanbul – 2008/09/22 7 SHARE to define what has to be done, when – and in what sequence, by whom, and how? Turns out action required in several domains: technical research and development standards and security for real world deployment squaring up to ethical and legal issues community acceptance and economic investment SHARE Objectives

9 – EGEE 08 – BBH Workshop - Istanbul – 2008/09/22 9 What is the goal ? An environment, created through the sharing of resources, in which heterogeneous and dispersed health data at different levels: molecular data (e.g. genomics, proteomics) ‏ cellular data (e.g. pathways) ‏ tissue data (e.g. cancer types, wound healing) personal data (e.g. EHR) ‏ population (e.g. epidemiology) ‏ as well as applications, can be accessed by all users as a tailored information system according to their level of authorisation and without loss of quality of information or service.

10 – EGEE 08 – BBH Workshop - Istanbul – 2008/09/22 10 Technical Challenges Distributed data integration and computing Security Performance Usability Standards Need for reference implementations of standard grid services Bridge the gap between medical informatics standards and grid standards (e.g. grid-enabled DICOM) ‏ Lack of standard open source ontologies in medical informatics Grid deployment in medical research centres Easy installation of secure grid nodes Friendly user interface

11 – EGEE 08 – BBH Workshop - Istanbul – 2008/09/22 11 Other challenges Specific features of the community Patient ownership of her or his data Hospitals IT policies vs grids Technology transfer between projects Development of best practices Interfacing IT resources for clinical routine to grid Data sharing (and major ethical implications) ‏ Raising awareness of grids Need to build on success stories

12 – EGEE 08 – BBH Workshop - Istanbul – 2008/09/22 12 HealthGrid ‘SOA’ The classic grid architecture assumed by SHARE Core services are generic; no medical or healthcare specialization assumed Healthgrid services are generic services (e.g. pseudo-nymization, image storage) and may be used by different special applications Domain-specific applications may require additional services (e.g. mammogram standardization); these may also be made generic.

25 – EGEE 08 – BBH Workshop - Istanbul – 2008/09/22 25 Technical Recommendations (1/2) ‏ To achieve a wider adoption in these research communities. We recommend that: More attention be paid to such initiatives so that they may influence the evolution of the technology to make it better fit the needs of the community; Two projects within the framework of the EuroPhysiome initiative be identified that could directly benefit from the computing and data management resources of the EGEE and DEISA infrastructures; these should be deployed in parallel on the two infrastructures in order to investigate interoperability issues and identify bottlenecks. In terms of encouraging biomedical applications to fully exploit grids, we recommend: Linking certain advanced health domains to an e-science infrastructure; The adaptation of epidemiology data sources to grid models and grid-enabled gateways to epidemiological data, using medical informatics-related connectors such as HL7, DICOM, ENV13606, or similar.

26 – EGEE 08 – BBH Workshop - Istanbul – 2008/09/22 26 Technical Recommendations (2/2) ‏ In the same spirit, in order to foster the uptake of grids in the biomedical research and healthcare communities, we recommend: The release of open-source components for medical data interfacing; Building a core reference database of validated experimental and clinical research data extracted from the literature in innovative medicine and to explore whether a grid infrastructure could support this activity; The creation of disease-specific European imaging networks towards the establishment of standards, validation of imaging biomarkers, development of regional centres of excellence in innovative medicine and exploration of grid infrastructures to support such activity. In the field of standards, We recommend: The active pursuit of standards for the sharing of medical images and electronic health records on the grid within the already existing medical informatics standardisation bodies; The active pursuit of ontology matching and development for healthgrids;

27 – EGEE 08 – BBH Workshop - Istanbul – 2008/09/22 27 Conclusion (1/2) ‏ Grid Technology has been identified as one of the key technologies to enable and support the "European Research Area" The impact of the Grid concept is expected to reach far beyond eScience, to eBusiness, eGovernment and eHealth Continuing and reinforced European and National R&D for HealthGrid services and for the deployment of dedicated grids infrastructures in the Biomedical & Healthcare world A major challenge is also to take the technology out of the Laboratory to the Citizen

28 – EGEE 08 – BBH Workshop - Istanbul – 2008/09/22 28 Conclusion (2/2) ‏ The short roadmap will be published by the European Commission and released during ICT-BIO 2008 October 23-24 october (Brussels) ‏ The long version is downloadable http://roadmap.healthgrid.org
