Kick-off Meeting INDICATE Project – January 27-28, 2025

January 27 – 28, 2025
On January 27 and 28, 2025, the official kick-off meeting of the INDICATE project took place at Hospital Universitario Virgen del Rocío in Seville. This event brought together experts and project partners to discuss the objectives and plans for the project.


INDICATE – How data and AI models can improve intensive care medicine

An interview with Patrick Rockenschaub, Postdoctoral researcher at the Medizinische Universität Innsbruck, held by Sabine Kálóczi.

Since the beginning of December 2024, INDICATE has been a consortium working at European level to make data from intensive care units available and usable. In line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation, the aim is to create new AI models that will improve the care of patients in intensive care in the future.



With Day 2 underway, we look back at an amazing Day 1 of the Live Kick-Off in Seville at Hospital Universitario Virgen del Rocío!🚀 On January 27 we officially launched our @EU-endorsed INDICATE research project in Seville, Spain! A big thank you to our wonderful hosts, Carlos Luis Parra-Calderón and Celia Alvarez Romero, for their warm welcome 🌍


Day 2 of the INDICATE kick-off was filled with engaging discussions on federated data models and federated machine learning in the #european union. What exactly are these approaches and how will we leverage them within the INDICATE project?


🇪🇺 INDICATE: Connecting Data in European Intensive Care 🚀Today – December 2, 2024 – marks the launch of the INDICATE project, a pioneering European initiative designed to enhance data access and sharing between intensive care units across Europe.

Who am I?
I am Jan van den Brand and I am the Technical Lead for the INDICATE project.

What am I up to during INDICATE?
The roles and responsibilities of the INDICATE Technical Lead involve the technical aspects of the INDICATE project, which aims to establish a secure and widely accessible infrastructure for standardized ICU data from various European countries. This includes:

  • Technical Oversight: Ensuring the design and development of the federated data infrastructure according to the Well Architected Framework, which emphasizes resilience, availability, security, and sustainability.
  • Data Protection: Implementing a zero-trust approach to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and systems.
  • Strategic Planning: Establishing the ELSI framework for data access, data protection, and ethical application of AI.

To that end I am working closely with various work package leads and partners to ensure the successful integration and implementation of the infrastructure.
