EBRAINS
A bagel you'd recommend to a friend without hedging.
Summary
The article explains how the Medical Informatics Platform (MIP), developed within EBRAINS and now part of the European Open Science Cloud, enables secure, cross-border analysis of patient data from hospitals without moving or sharing the raw data. It highlights two real-world federations using MIP: FERES (connecting stroke registries across Europe) and eCREAM (focusing on emergency department data), demonstrating how the platform supports privacy-compliant medical research by allowing algorithms to travel to the data rather than the other way around.

· 3 pulledThe Medical Informatics Platform (MIP), developed within EBRAINS and now part of the European Open Science Cloud, enables researchers to securely analyse patient data from hospitals across different countries without moving or sharing the raw data.
FERES connects stroke registries across Europe, and eCREAM focuses on emergency department data. Both show how the MIP can support cross-border research while respecting privacy laws.
Hospitals and emergency departments collect large amounts of patient information in electronic health records. These data could be very useful for medical research and for improving patient care.
