Medical Informatics Platform

Get access to big data through federated analysis

Promote access to real-life health data and use of state-of-the-art analytical tools
Increase analysis robustness and accelerate cross-institutional collaborations
Work in an environment ensuring data privacy and security

The Medical Informatics Platform (MIP) is designed to help clinicians, clinical scientists, and clinical data scientists aiming to adopt advanced analytics for clinical research. Users can explore harmonized medical data extracted from pre-processed neuroimaging, neurophysiological and medical records and research cohort datasets without transferring original clinical data.

The Medical Informatics Platform (MIP) supports the development of disease-oriented federations for hospitals and (medical) research centers that wish to engage in collaborations, share data without transferring them, and perform federated analysis of large-scale distributed clinical datasets.

For each federation, clinical researchers create specific data models based on well-accepted common data elements (CDE), approved by all participating centers. The MIP team provide support to the centers to facilitate coordination and communication and assist in the creation of these data models.

FERES

FERES (Federating European Registries for Stroke) is a strategic European initiative designed to support the collaborative analysis of National Stroke Registries via the Medical Informatics Platform (MIP).

The project aims to federate the analysis of national stroke registries, currently from Austria, Greece, Ireland, Italy, and Switzerland, representing real-world data from specialized Stroke Units from over 500,000 stroke patients.

FERES wants to enable high-impact clinical research, support evidence-based care, and ultimately reduce inequalities in stroke management across Europe. It also contributes to the implementation of the Stroke Action Plan for Europe 2018–2030 (SAP-E).

Spearheaded by leading academic and clinical institutions, FERES is sponsored by the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) and endorsed by the European Stroke Organisation (ESO).

It serves as a flagship use case for the Medical Informatics Platform (MIP)—a privacy-preserving data federation infrastructure developed within the Human Brain Project and now operated under EBRAINS, the European digital ecosystem for collaborative neuroscience and brain health research.
