A big day for INDICATE in Brussels: Wednesday 25 June was a great day for communication and collaboration. Workpackage 5 of INDICATE started the morning with a productive meeting about communications, and in the afternoon, a delegation of INDICATE, including Maurizio Cecconi – Maria Theodorakopoulou – Margo van Mol and Joel Alexandre, met with members of the European Parliament.

INDICATE was highlighted as a strong example of what European collaboration and innovation can look like in healthcare. Our approach to building a federated data platform enables us to share knowledge across borders, support AI development, and still protect patient privacy, which is a crucial balance in today’s data-driven world.



As Maurizio put it: “Research is essential to improving patient outcomes, but without sharing information, we cannot progress. By building a Federated Data Platform and opening it up on a European level, we can safeguard patient privacy while still sharing valuable knowledge that benefits clinicians, researchers, and patients alike. To truly unlock the power of AI and innovation in intensive care, we must share data not only across Europe, but potentially on a global scale, always with privacy and trust at the core.”

It was encouraging to see genuine interest from both European Parliament and Commission representatives. We’re proud to be part of this conversation and part of a project that shows how responsible innovation in AI can move healthcare forward.
