Health knowledge discovery 2. Health status of an individual, i.e to improve disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment Preallocated budget: 75 M€ (10% flexibility) Instruments: IPs: 55%; STREPs, SSAs and CAs: 45% Background to call 4 Biomedical information is collected, stored and processed on / in 1) Different Levels – (molecule, cell, tissue, organ, person, population) 2) Different Context - (care, research, education, policy/management) 3) Different Representation – (format, structures, ontologies) 4) Many many different places - Clinical info resources (health records, personal/wearable health systems, clinical research databases, drug/pharma databases, NLM, …) - Biomolecular Info resources (DNA & protein sequences, microrarray data, protein interactions, human genome annotations ..) - Public health info resources (epidemiological data and studies, national and WHO databases on diseases, …) - Environmental/Chemical/Biodiversity info resources Scope of Call 4 Focus 1: Methods and systems for improved medical knowledge discovery and improved understanding through integration and processing of biomedical information Examples: - methods and technologies to link securely clinical and genetic information resources (e.g grid technologies) resulting in integrated biomedical information (e.g. electronic health records that include genetic data) and leading to measurable benefits in medical research or patient care - modelling, visualisation and simulation of patient specific data that integrates different levels of information e.g. for new approaches to drug discoveries, simulation of functions of cells or organs. Scope of Call 4 Focus 2: Innovative systems and services for disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment based on integrated biomedical information. Examples: - System for disease prevention and chronic disease management by integrating data from personal monitoring systems, genetics and clinical information - Support to development of new “personalised” treatment and/or nutrition including new approaches to patient safety based on integrated biomedical information - Improvements to diagnostic methods by incorporating information from molecular level (e.g. molecular imaging) Scope of Call 4 Roadmaps (Specific Support Measures) are recommendations • • • for an R&D actions on EU level that consider also non R&D aspects ( legal, industrial, financial) that describe approaches to reach the overall goals, but also point to useful intermediate milestones (I.e. midterm goals to be reached within one FP) i) Interoperability of eHealth systems – realistic approaches to this concept with clinical applicability. Special emphasis on semantic interoperability and the further R&D needed in the area of biomedical ontologies ii) In silico model of human being (virtual or physiological human) From eCell thtough eOrgan to ePerson. Mid term goals are necessary for this long term (large) project i) Uptake of HealthGrid technologies and applications - highlighting technical, financial, legal issues, incentives and relevant policies Conclusions • Call 4 builds on FP6 first call and is complemented by the joint call on biosensors and by call 3 on international cooperation and coordination between Member States activities • Call 4 focuses on INTEGRATION of biomedical information more than technological development ALL proposals should exhibit or lead to measurable benefits Must respect legal & ethical guidelines IPs: should address both focus 1 and 2 and should address the issue of integration and interoperability STREP: should focus on development of innovative system or service with clearly specified problem and target group
