The technologies and ideas that underlie e-Science in providing seamless access to distributed resources is a compelling one and has been applied in many research domains. The clinical domain is one area in particular that, in principle has much to be gained from e-Science approaches. Until now however it has largely been the case that the practical realization, support and adoption of e-Science solutions...
The Avert-IT project (EU FP7) is an initiative to develop a system that can predict the onset of hypotensive events in patients over a feasible timescale (e.g. 15 mins) and allow clinicians to administer the appropriate treatment. To produce this system requires the additional development of a data collection platform, based at six leading clinical centres throughout Europe, with real-time integration...
A unified electronic health record (EHR) has potentially immeasurable benefits to society, and the current healthcare industry drive to create a single EHR reflects this. However, adoption is slow due to two major factors: the disparate nature of data storage facilities of current healthcare systems, and the security ramifications of accessing, using, and potential misuse of that data. To attempt...
Collaboration is at the heart of e-science and e-research more generally. Successful collaborations must address both the needs of the end user researchers and the providers that make resources available. Usability and security are two fundamental requirements that are demanded by many collaborations and both concerns must be considered from both the researcher and resource provider perspective. In...
The neurological and wider clinical domains stand to gain greatly from the vision of the grid in providing seamless yet secure access to distributed, heterogeneous computational resources and data sets. Whilst a wealth of clinical data exists within local, regional and national healthcare boundaries, access to and usage of these data sets demands that fine grained security is supported and subsequently...
Understanding potential genetic factors in disease or development of personalised e-Health solutions require scientists to access a multitude of data and compute resources across the Internet from functional genomics resources through to epidemiological studies. The Grid paradigm provides a compelling model whereby seamless access to these resources can be achieved. However, the acceptance of Grid...
