The regional cooperation e/MTIC will start this month with the construction of a platform on which, for the first time, medical data from different types of healthcare institutions can be shared securely and anonymously, such as between hospitals, universities and industry. After years of preparations, the Health Data Portal (HDP) should be ready by the middle of next year on a regional scale. This will also give it an important role in the national network of the Health-RI project, financed by the National Growth Fund.
In the medical and scientific world, there is a growing demand for a system that enables the exchange of data between different institutions in a safe and simple manner. While data exchange within a single institution, such as a hospital, is often well documented, a system for doing so between different institutions, such as between hospitals and universities, is currently lacking.
e/MTIC - a large regional partnership in the field of medical technology between TU/e, Philips, Catharina Ziekenhuis, Máxima Medisch Centrum, and the Kempenhaeghe Expertise Centre - is now the first consortium that has started implementing a medical data platform, the Health Data Portal (HDP), that transcends the walls of a single institution.
