Health data is centre stage in many of the call topics for research and development projects and initiatives sponsored by industry and national eHealth and research bodies.
There is a burning need to collect, use and reuse health data for understanding disease trajectories, identifying trends, predicting evolutions, taking the right care planning decisions and accelerating research.
State-of-the-art innovation
i~HD plays a strong role in national and international R&D projects and European-wide collaborative initiatives.
We highly value participating in these projects and initiatives because it allows us to keep connected with the state of the art in innovative aspects of health care and clinical research.
The projects provide us with opportunities to put our services and expertise into practical scenarios, to learn, to improve and to expand our portfolio of health data solutions.
We are often invited to be a partner, providing expertise in many fields:
- data protection and GDPR compliance
- data sharing agreements
- anonymisation and pseudonymisation
- data quality benchmarking
- research platform quality assessment
- business modelling and sustainability
- dissemination and multi-stakeholder engagement
Collaborative Projects
We are a partner in collaborative projects that largely have industry or industry association funding. These include the Multiple Sclerosis Data Alliance, Data Saves Lives and a project with EFPIA on heart failure outcomes data and value based health care.
Discover the research projects we are currently involved in.

Collaboration co-ordinated by the European Patients’ Forum to promote the value of using health data to the public, sponsored by EFPIA, EIT Health, MedTechEurope

Data Alliance to promote greater collaboration and data sharing amongst multiple sclerosis registries and clinical centres, pharma sponsored through annual grants
Project exclusively with i~HD, through a grant from EFPIA, to assess the quality of routinely collected heart failure outcomes data in 10 European hospitals
Our experience in European projects
Via our founding members, i~HD can boast
i~HD expertise in R&D is built on a long history of participating in (EU-funded) projects thanks to its founding members EuroRec and RAMIT (over 100 R&D projects), strengthened by our large international community of experts. We have a lot of successful proposal writing and project co-ordination expertise.
Besides performing and supporting research, i~HD is able to assist research consortia in building sustainable models and solutions. i~HD is itself a successful sustainable outcome of EU R&D projects in 2016. Being a neutral European wide non-for-profit association, i~HD can disseminate project progress and its final results to multiple stakeholders active in the domain of health data.
