About

INDICATE aims to establish a secure federated infrastructure for standardized Intensive Care data.

Federated means that software to analyze data or train AI is taken to the data at the intensive care unit instead of taking the data to the people who do the analysis.
This way data of patients will never leave the hospital and people who use the data never get to see the actual health data, but only the results they need.
The federated approach is secure and promotes patient privacy by design. Importantly, INDICATE partners are spread across Europe to ensure that the available data reflects the diversity of patients in Europe in the short term, but also in the longer term when the network is meant to grow.

This way INDICATE will form the foundation for training and operationalizing of AI model in intensive care units to support applications in personalized medicine, data comparison between ICUs, and disaster preparedness. For example, INDICATE will facilitate the development of an AI model to predict bacterial bloodstream infection in newborn infants will be developed to improve earlier recognition of this disease.
