About INDICATE

On Monday December 2 2024, INDICATE has been officially launched, a pioneering European initiative designed to enhance data access and sharing between intensive care units across Europe.

INDICATE aims to advance patient-centered care and promoting ethically responsible data use and the development and implementation of trustworthy AI models.
In the coming years, we will collaborate with organizations across the European healthcare sector to improve patient outcomes and foster a data-driven approach to healthcare.

At present, clinical decision-making and innovation in ICUs face significant challenges due to fragmented data, the lack of standardized data-sharing agreements, and insufficient secure infrastructure. These barriers became glaringly evident during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic when even basic questions, such as “How many patients requiring ventilatory support are admitted to ICUs?” were difficult to answer.

This halts the development and implementation of AI models that are inclusive and diverse and have the possibility to improve patient targeted medicine. INDICATE seeks to overcome these challenges and ensure that critical healthcare data can be ethically and responsibly utilized.

INDICATE has officially launched this week!

Dear all,

We are excited to share some fantastic news with you all – we are proud to announce that INDICATE has officially launched this week!

INDICATE aims to tackle key challenges faced by European Intensive Care Units (ICUs) that hinder progress in data-enabled clinical decision-making and data-driven innovations like Artificial Intelligence (AI). Although ICUs operate in data-rich environments, individual ICU datasets are often limited in size, and the absence of standardized, secure mechanisms for cross-border data sharing restricts AI’s transformative potential in healthcare. To address this, INDICATE seeks to develop a federated infrastructure for ICU data, facilitating secure, cross-border access to large-scale, diverse datasets.

We look forward to the success and growth of INDICATE and to sharing this exciting adventure with all of you!

Best regards,

The INDICATE Team,
