Technology Description

The Medical Informatics Platform (MIP) is a privacy preserving, federated data analytics software. It connects patient anonymised data from hospitals and research cohort datasets without moving them from their original storage and provides a set of pre-integrated statistical methods as well as predictive machine learning algorithms for patient anonymised data exploration, data modelling, integration and execution of experiments (data analysis methods).

The MIP helps investigate and compare harmonized medical extracted form pre-processed neuroimaging, neurophysiological and medical records. The platform offers the least invasive approach to connect centers and datasets; it promotes access to augmented knowledge potential through collaborative research.

ACCESS BIG DATA TO PROGRESS IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF NEUROLOGICAL AND PSYCHIATRIC DISEASES

DEVELOP AND VALIDATE NEW BIOMARKERS AND OFFER NOVEL DIGITAL SOLUTIONS FOR MORE PRECISE AND PERSONALIZED MEDICINE

FEDERATED ANALYSIS OF PATIENTS’ DATASETS DISTRIBUTED IN HOSPITALS ACROSS EUROPE

PRIVACY BY DESIGN AND BY DEFAULT; A GROUNDBREAKING APPROACH TO LEVERAGE DATA SHARING IN  MEDICINE AND CLINICAL RESEARCH
