BIOPATTERN

BIOPATTERN is a groundbreaking project that integrates key elements of European research to underpin eHealth. The goal is to develop a pan-European, intelligent analysis of a citizen's bioprofile; to make the analysis of this bioprofile remotely accessible to patients and clinicians; and to exploit bioprofile to combat major diseases such as cancer and brain diseases.

Today, the ability to produce vast amounts of bio-data has vastly outstripped our ability to sensibly make use of the data for decision making.

A key objective of BIOPATTERN is to address the problem of fragmentation in this key area by bringing together key researchers to create a critical mass of specialists to promote the development of computational intelligence methods underpinning e-Healthcare. The idea is to move away from local solutions to local problems and towards European wide solutions to European problems.

The main objectives are:

  • Integration - to tackle and reduce fragmentation of existing research capacities in this area
  • Virtual Research Institute - to create a new research community
  • New opportunities - to identify how bioprofile could be exploited for healthcare, such as disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment
  • Roadmap - to identify gaps in knowledge, key challenges and to initiate joint activities to address them.
  • Standards - To identify technical and ethical issues on which guidelines and standards should be based with regard to the acquisition, transmission and analysis of a bioprofile
  • Societal challenges - To contribute to finding solutions to some of the demanding societal challenges in healthcare.
