Leaders: 

Martin Lablans (Heidelberg) and Gudrun Schleiermacher (Paris)

Abstract: 

WP4 is responsible for a harmonized clinical data model (CDM) and to provide a secure data exchange for the CDM in a federated data access infrastructure. This also covers legal and ethical requirements as well as data linkage via pseudonymization.

Tasks: 

  • Harmonization of clinical data based on used CRFs and definition of a common FHIR data model.
  • Design and implement a pseudonymization process to enable linkage between clinical and genomic data.
  • Design an API for Secure Data Exchange enabling uploads, downloads and synchronization between the federated and central components.
  • Develop and provide storage infrastructure.
  • Provide a Local Node infrastructure for clinical data storage and exchange in combination with Operation and Sustainability.
