Abstract:
Linking clinical data to computational physiology is a crucial step for personalised and predictive Medicine. Electronic health records (EHR) embody quantifiable manifestations of genetic and environmental effects that impact on biological systems. Recent attempts to enable this linkage heavily rely on semantic technologies however in the world of EHRs Semantic Web has very limited use. openEHR provides open engineering specifications and tooling to tackle health data which supports Semantic Web. We are setting up an openEHR-based research data repository at ABI to normalise and annotate clinical and experimental data with an aim to integrate with the Physiome Model Repository (PMR).
