Presentation at Med-e-Tel Conference, Luxembourg

The Med-e-Tel conference took place from 18-20 April 2012 in Luxembourg. Med-e-Tel is an official event of the International Society for Telemedicine & eHealth (ISfTeH), the international federation of national associations who represent their country’s Telemedicine and eHealth stakeholders.

The ISfTeH exists to facilitate the international dissemination of knowledge and experience in Telemedicine and eHealth, to provide access to recognised experts in the field worldwide, and to offer unprecedented networking opportunities.

Med-e-Tel is one of the instruments that help the ISfTeH to realise this mission.

eHealth, Telemedicine and Health ICT are a tool at the service of medical and nurse practitioners, patients, citizens, healthcare institutions and governments. It involves many different stakeholders who need to be brought face-to-face to share aspirations, learn from research and experiences, show the possibilities, understand the market, discover new applications. Med-e-Tel is the meeting place with a proven potential for Education, Networking and Business among a global audience with diverse professional backgrounds.

The TRANSFoRm project was presented on Friday 20th April 2012 in the eLearning session from 11:00 to 13:00.

TRANSFoRm: “Vision of a Healthcare Learning System” – Vasa Curcin, Adel Taweel, Theodoros N. Arvanitis, Mark McGilchrist, Siobhan Clarke, Derek Corrigan, Brendan Delaney – Imperial College London, UK

Presentation at e-Science Workflows Workshop, Budapest

The TRANSFoRm Zone Model of data privacy was presented at the e-Science Workflows Workshop (Thursday 09 February 2012 – Friday 10 February 2012) in Budapest. ECRIN has been invited by EGI (European Grid Initiative) to present a research problem where workflow, cloud and grid technologies could be a solution. EGI is searching for potential users of their Grid services coming from the health research domain.

Therefore, for the e-Science workshop, Dr. Wolfgang Kuchinke presented the TRANSFoRm privacy model: here the different data access, pseudonymisation, anonymisation, aggregation and encryption operations of the data flow from the care zone to the research zone could be done by workflow systems and the grid in the background of the clinical trial process. The workshop took place in the MTA SZTAKI (Hungarian Academy of Sciences) building in Budapest.
