Communication: COM(2004) 356 final
‘e-Health – making healthcare better for European citizens: An
action plan for a European e-Health Area’
e-Health action plan: 3 areas of activities
•Addressing common challenges
•Pilot actions: accelerating beneficial implementation
•Working together and monitoring practices
3 types of responsibilities:
•Member States (MS) responsibility
•European Commission (EC) Responsibility
•Shared between EC and MS
Many tools for action:
EC programmes, EC promotion initiatives,
regional funds, MS funds, open method of coordination
CALL 4 is open for submission of an Coordination Action that will
assists Commission in following up the Action Plan of the eHealth

Call 4
To support research and development of ICT based
systems that process and integrate all possible
relevant biomedical information from different levels
and from many different places with the purpose to
improve
1. Health knowledge discovery
2. Health status of an individual, i.e to improve disease
prevention, diagnosis, treatment
Preallocated budget: 75 M€ (10% flexibility)
Instruments:
IPs: 55%;
STREPs, SSAs and CAs: 45%
Background to call 4
Biomedical information is collected, stored and processed on / in
1) Different Levels – (molecule, cell, tissue, organ, person, population)
2) Different Context - (care, research, education, policy/management)
3) Different Representation – (format, structures, ontologies)
4) Many many different places
- Clinical info resources (health records, personal/wearable health
systems, clinical research databases, drug/pharma databases, NLM, …)
- Biomolecular Info resources (DNA & protein sequences, microrarray
data, protein interactions, human genome annotations ..)
- Public health info resources (epidemiological data and studies,
national and WHO databases on diseases, …)
- Environmental/Chemical/Biodiversity info resources
Scope of Call 4
Focus 1: Methods and systems for improved medical
knowledge discovery and improved understanding
through integration and processing of biomedical
information
Examples:
- methods and technologies to link securely clinical and genetic information
resources (e.g grid technologies) resulting in integrated biomedical
information (e.g. electronic health records that include genetic data)
and leading to measurable benefits in medical research or patient care
- modelling, visualisation and simulation of patient specific data that
integrates different levels of information e.g. for new approaches to drug
discoveries, simulation of functions of cells or organs.
Scope of Call 4
Focus 2: Innovative systems and services for disease
prevention, diagnosis and treatment based on
integrated biomedical information.
Examples:
- System for disease prevention and chronic disease management by
integrating data from personal monitoring systems, genetics and
clinical information
- Support
to development of new “personalised” treatment and/or
nutrition including new approaches to patient safety based on
integrated biomedical information
- Improvements to diagnostic methods by incorporating information
from molecular level (e.g. molecular imaging)
Scope of Call 4
Roadmaps (Specific Support Measures) are recommendations
•
•
•
for an R&D actions on EU level
that consider also non R&D aspects ( legal, industrial, financial)
that describe approaches to reach the overall goals, but also
point to useful intermediate milestones (I.e. midterm goals to be
reached within one FP)
i)
Interoperability of eHealth systems – realistic approaches to this concept
with clinical applicability. Special emphasis on semantic interoperability
and the further R&D needed in the area of biomedical ontologies
ii)
In silico model of human being (virtual or physiological human)
From eCell thtough eOrgan to ePerson. Mid term goals are necessary for
this long term (large) project
i)
Uptake of HealthGrid technologies and applications - highlighting
technical, financial, legal issues, incentives and relevant policies
Conclusions
• Call 4 builds on FP6 first call and is complemented by the
joint call on biosensors and by call 3 on international
cooperation and coordination between Member States
activities
• Call 4 focuses on INTEGRATION of biomedical information
more than technological development
ALL proposals should exhibit or lead to measurable benefits
Must respect legal & ethical guidelines
IPs: should address both focus 1 and 2 and should address the
issue of integration and interoperability
STREP: should focus on development of innovative system or
service with clearly specified problem and target group
