New network announcement: the Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN) launches a new cross-hospital data query tool powered by Tune Insight! Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN) is introducing the Data Exploration and Analysis System (DEAS), poised to transform data-driven research in Switzerland. It offers researchers improved tools for conducting data queries and feasibility studies. This platform will replace the current Federated Query System, which will be discontinued by December 2024. DEAS, developed in collaboration with SPHN and Swiss university hospitals, will enable secure access to aggregated data from Swiss hospitals. Powered by Tune Insight, DEAS complies with the highest levels of data protection, based on state-of-the-art privacy technologies including homomorphic encryption, secure multiparty computation, federated analytics and differential privacy. For more details, read the announcement on SPHN’s website: https://lnkd.in/e9QHs9Cj Team Tune Insight: Juan Ramón Troncoso-Pastoriza, Romain Bouyé, Frederic Pont, Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Manon M., Yassine Boukhari, Florimond Houssiau, Kadiatu Jalloh, MSC, Thierry Bossy, Taisiia Efremova, Boris Flesch, Adrien Prost, Loïs Huguenin-Dumittan, Mariya Georgieva, Francesco Marino, Bertrand Spilthooren #personalizedhealth #federatedanalytics #datacollaboration #dataprotection #dataprivacy #federatedlearning #swissstartups

Data driven health care relies on patients willing to share their data for research. What are their expectations and needs? Join the conversation at the Data for Health symposium! With Larisa Aragon Castro, Executive MBA, David Haerry, PD Dr. Jasmin Barman-Aksözen and Olivier Menzel 📅 31. October 2024 📍 Kursaal, Bern https://lnkd.in/eGUSXQK3

Had a great time at the #SCTExpo24 by SNOMED International in Seoul. Great to see how SNOMED CT gets used in more and more countries and applications. With our work in Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN) we are leveraging SNOMED CT to build semantic knowledge graphs. Looking forward to seeing all of you next year in Antwerp, Belgium. #FAIR #knowledgegraphs #datainteroperability #standards

We are piloting the SPHN Data Exploration and Analysis System (DEAS) - a more powerful query system that will provide researchers with an easy-to-use platform for both, conducting feasibility queries and exploring data to support hypothesis generation. In addition to advanced patient counts, DEAS will allow researchers to explore value distributions and survival curves. It will provide secure access to aggregated data from Swiss hospitals while maintaining the highest privacy standards. Individual patient-level data will remain securely stored decentralized at the hospitals. This pilot project represents an important step forward in enabling personalized health research. As part of this development, the current SPHN Federated Query System system will be discontinued as of December 2024. https://lnkd.in/e9QHs9Cj #DataExploration #DataAnalysis #KnowledgeGraph #FAIR #SPHN

🎉 We're excited to announce the launch of the Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN) metadata catalogue called SPHN Schema Scope! https://lnkd.in/e5jZsuSh SPHN Schema Scope offers researchers a highly interactive way to visualize data schemas, simplifying the navigation of even the most complex data structures. This web service offers seamless access to both the SPHN Schema and project-specific schemas. With SPHN Schema Scope, you can easily browse relationships between datasets, identify relevant schema subsets, and streamline interoperability and data integration across the network. And this is just the beginning, future updates will bring even more powerful features like enhanced schema interactions and additional descriptive project metadata. 👉 Curious? Explore Schema Scope today: schemascope.dcc.sib.swiss 💬 Got feedback or ideas? We’d love to hear from you! Email us at fair-data-team@sib.swiss. #KnowledgeGraphs  #Interoperability #MetaData

Join our managing director Thomas R. Geiger at the NZZ podium on personalized Medicine! Thomas will share insights on how personalized health can advance the Swiss healthcare system. Along with a panel of experts, he will address how challenges like ethical concerns, accessibility, and data protection can be solved. 👉 Register now: 20 November 2024, 19:30 https://lnkd.in/eGKhF7ua

At our upcoming event Data for Health, you can now select up to three ateliers to attend. In these interactive sessions, members of the National Data Stream projects present hands-on insight on working with real life clinical data and share exiting preliminary findings. Other teams present insights on genomics in Switzerland, sustainable data governance and how practical ethical issues can be addressed. You can find a full description of the ateliers here: https://lnkd.in/eGUSXQK3 Each atelier has limited spots, so be sure to reserve your place early. You can sign up for the ateliers via the confirmation email sent to you after registration for the event. Looking forward to seeing you there! #DataForHealth #Workshops #HealthData PHRT - Personalized Health and Related Technologies

Join our team member Vasundra Touré at the Knowledge Graph Forum! In her talk, Vasundra will show how the Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN) solves challenges in secure data sharing using Semantic Web tech with knowledge graphs and SPHN tools. The conference takes place online from October 22-23. It highlights how knowledge graphs can help make sense of complex data. #FAIR #interoperability #rdf #SPHN

Cantonal hospitals are joining the Swiss Personalized Health Network! The Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN) has launched a new onboarding program to integrate cantonal hospitals into the SPHN and BioMedIT network. This initiative is a crucial step toward standardized data delivery across Swiss healthcare institutions, paving the way for multi-site personalized medicine research. The five cantonal hospitals joining this program include Luzerner Kantonsspital, Kantonsspital Aarau AG, Ente Ospedaliero Cantonale (EOC), Kantonsspital Baden AG and Kantonsspital St.Gallen KSSG. The  non-profit organization SAKK Schweizerische Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Klinische Krebsforschung will also join the initiative. The institutions will map their data to international standards like #snomedct and #loinc, ensuring consistent and accurate data exchange. By implementing the SPHN Connector and the Secure Encryption and Transfer Tool (sett), these organizations are setting up the IT infrastructure needed for secure, interoperable data sharing. This collaboration marks a significant advancement in personalized medicine promoting better healthcare outcomes for all. #knowledgegraph #interoperabiliy #network #datasharing SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics
