In the same area, the LINKED2SAFETY project aims to overcome the fragmentation<br />

of the <strong>European</strong> healthcare in<strong>for</strong>mation space by building an interoperable framework.<br />

It will enable the efficient and homogenized access to distributed Electronic Health<br />

Records (EHRs).<br />

Linked2Safety<br />

The project will develop an integrated system, including a scalable technical infrastructure<br />

and a patient data protection framework, to facilitate the semantic interlinking, sharing and<br />

reusing of different EHR repositories.<br />

Funded by the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7)<br />

Duration: 2011-2014<br />

Having a secure and quick access to health data supports monitoring the health<br />

status of patients experiencing chronic conditions. In short, it helps saving lives.<br />

The d-LIVER project focuses on patients having liver problems, such as chronic or<br />

acute liver failure. It uses <strong>ICT</strong> to address the clinical need <strong>for</strong> a bio-artificial liver<br />

(BAL) and it supports the remote monitoring of the patient’s condition in his home<br />

environment through a system based on biosensors. d-LIVER will enable the patients<br />

to stay more independent whilst being under constant medical supervision.<br />

The system is expected to save up to 250.000 lives annually worldwide, <strong>for</strong> example<br />

by preventing chronic liver failure and mortality of patients on the transplant waiting<br />

list.<br />

d-LIVER<br />

The project is pursuing the delivery of more efficient bio-artificial liver (BAL) support devices.<br />

These systems will be capable of constantly communicating the status of both the patient<br />

and the BAL remotely to central clinical services, in a secure and confidential manner, such<br />

that patient monitoring is continuous and intervention can be both swift and beneficial.<br />
