Projects

  • HealthData4U
    Development and evaluation of a socio-technical system for medical documentation in street medicine in Europe. A personal electronic health record for homeless people, refugees, migrants and other vulnerable groups is intended to enable the exchange of data across borders and to support the transfer of data when returning to regular care.
  • 3LGM²IHE: Planning support for interoperable information systems in clinical research:
     IHE specifications are to be fully modelled in the 3LGM² enterprise architecture planning tool. From this, design patterns are derived that map typical services of a research information system to IHE profiles. The design patterns are intended to support the information manager of a research project in finding suitable IHE profiles and constructing a concrete research information system.

  • NMDR3: 
    NMDR3 aims to support the endeavours of FAIR data sharing through a series of measures. Building on the results of the previous project, metadata vocabularies will be implemented in a research data management system and recommendations for data repositories will be developed. Furthermore, generic indicators for data quality, especially in FHIR-based data structures, are to be established and query procedures tested. Another focus is on improving semantic interoperability by further developing procedures and tools for associating data elements with concepts from medical terminologies such as LOINC and SNOMED CT. These efforts are complemented by support for data sharing through FAIR data management plans and ideas for FAIR certification for data repositories.
  • baseTraCE - basic services for education and training within the Mll 
    The baseTraCe network serves as a central hub for the MII's education and training measures. A sustainable and flexible platform is intended to ensure that the education-related developments and information structures created within the consortia are maintained and made available to the entire MII community.

  • MI-LAB@NFDI4Health: 
    The aim of the project is the development and open provision of practical teaching units for teaching medical informatics based on NFDI4Health tools. The MI-Lab is a customisable educational platform that provides students with access to software tools and data sets. Six learning units are planned with a focus on practical exercises that simulate realistic scenarios of IT support for clinical and epidemiological research.

  • Nfdi.software: 
    With nfdi.software, a centralised marketplace for research software is being designed, implemented and tested with the aim of mapping and linking distributed software metadata. The aim is to make the research data available in the NFDI and its indexing by specific programmes more directly accessible and to enable more complex (re-)use of the metadata and software. In the initialisation phase, a joint approach will be developed based on the experience of previous initiatives and will result in a ‘Prototype for Integration’.
  • FAIR-IMPACT: 
    Support offer #4: ‘Improving the availability and machine readability of data policies with FAIRsharing’ compares data use policies from national health data-holding institutions of NFDI4Health and the Medical Informatics Initiative for their FAIRness using a checklist and registers them in FAIRsharing. The Support offer #1: ‘Assessing and improving Research Software’ focuses on assessing and improving the FAIRness of existing research software using a new extension of F-UJI.

Completed projects

  • HITO (Health IT Ontology) 
    HITO makes it possible to systematically describe software products for health information systems and the studies that evaluate them using a defined set of classes and their relationships. With the help of integrated catalogues for languages, programming languages, licences, features and business tasks, the functionalities of software products can be precisely described and compared. HITO is freely available as Linked Open Data.
  • SNIK (semantic network of integrated information management in hospitals) 
    SNIK is an ontology freely available as linked open data that formally describes, on the basis of various textbooks, which persons in information management (roles) have to perform which tasks and require which information to do so.
