Call

Action grants for developing a pilot project for an EU infrastructure ecosystem for the secondary use of health data for research, policy-making and regulatory purposes

Detailed Call Description

This pilot will require to:

  • define and select, jointly with the Commission, key use cases (including necessary health datasets) that build on health data made available by the consortium partners to demonstrate added value of cross-country reuse of health data;
  • define and select, jointly with the Commission, key use cases (including necessary health datasets) that build on health data made available by the consortium partners to demonstrate added value of cross-country reuse of health data;
  • elicit requirements (business, functional and non-functional) for an IT and data infrastructure (including nodes and central services) to enable Union-wide reuse of health data
  • design, jointly with the Commission, the architecture and the specifications for the building blocks necessary for an IT infrastructure (nodes and central services) to enable Union-wide reuse of health data;
  • develop, customise or integrate technology, jointly with the Commission, to fulfil the agreed requirements, architecture and specifications;
  • deploy, at partner level, the nodes, in conformity with the design specifications, and connect them to both the national infrastructure and to the central services;
  • run the selected use cases over the implemented IT infrastructure (validation of the process);
  • assess the performance of the selected standards and technological building blocks used and their ability to scale towards a Union-wide infrastructure;
  • demonstrate how the infrastructure can contribute to support institutions such as EMA and ECDC, to fulfil their needs for real world health data;
  • provide feedback on legal and governance arrangements for efficient cross-border reuse of health data in the context of the pilot project.

    • SPECIFIC MANDATORY DELIVERABLES AND//OR MILESTONES

    • Analysis report describing the selection of use cases and the business, functional and non-functional requirements, architecture and specifications for the IT infrastructure, including the rationale for the definition of the standards architecture;
    • the results of the project must be open source and made available through a public repository under a permissive license;
    • ensure awareness and communication activities for the general public;
    • development, testing, deployment and operation of a re-usable IT infrastructure for the reuse of health data on the basis of the developed specifications and use cases;
    • evaluation report of the deployed IT infrastructure and the technological building blocks based on the experience with the execution of the use cases;
    • report describing the tested and proposed legal and governance framework and opinion on effectiveness and potential to scale towards a Union-wide solution.
