eHealth Baselining Event  Gap Analysis

The  Objectives and outcomes of the eHealth Baselining Event 

The event (Jan 27, 2021) has been attended by about 70 participants, NRENs representatives.  The  primary objective of the first GÉANT Community eHealth Baselining event has been  to understand if the community was ready to start an activity on eHealth. It has been the very first  community event ever organised around eHealth, and,  besides proposing initial ideas for joint activities, it gathered the community response to the new idea of working together on eHealth.  The main goal has been achieved since the event showed that there was enough critical mass to start coordinating NRENs' activities on eHealth to aim at generating synergies on specific topics.

Community involvement and  identified gaps

The event has been structures around 5 main domains:

  1. Networking
  2. T&I
  3. Security
  4. Policy
  5. Clouds


The requests coming from the NRENs community showed considerable potential in working together on the following topics:

  1. Organisation of a training on Security and Privacy, specifically for eHealth. These should target both NRENs eHealth contacts and NRENs member institutions dealing with eHealth.
  2. Sharing information to the NRENs eHealth Community on funding opportunities from the EU Commission on eHealth, with the goal of empowering NRENs through new opportunities to let their eHealth staff and activities grow in the forthcoming years.
  3.  Sharing Best practices and assess the implications of eHealth on AUPs
  4. Working on pushing for the adoption of our community federated AAI infrastructure to access medical data and eHealth research data. There has been a general acknowledgement of the role that our community platforms, based on open standards, can play to boost the adoption of eHealth in general. 
  5. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning/Deep Learning applied to eHealth
  6. Storage and data sharing services specifically targeting the needs and requirements of the eHealth community, including common work on PoCs.
  7. Refine NRENs AUPs to fine tune them for eHealth users and services
  8. Need acquire additional information on  latest EU directives/communications and promoted new concepts on eHealth and the EU eHealth Dataspace
  9. Key areas where support at the policy level  is required and developments are needed identified in
    • Data Access policies
    • Enforcement of standards
    • FAIR data approach
    • Trusted research environment
    • Evangelization to Hospitals and their staff 
  10. Join force while liaising with the EU about funding opportunities for the community - and  possible liaison with WHO

Outcomes and agreed steps forward

Coonsensus has been reached on the following points:

  1. The GÉANT  community welcomes a second, more extended community  event on eHealth
  2. The GÉANT NRENs community favours the idea of establishing a  new Task Force within the GÉANT Community Programme  to gather efforts on supporting the eHealth user community, through the implementation of a specific, community approved workplan.

eHealth BoF at TNC21 


The GÉANT Community Programme has organized a second major community event after the succesul outcome of the first eHealth baselining even, and this event has been a Bird of a Feather session at the TNC21 conference, on June 25, 2021. The request to organize such an event came directly from the NRENs, at the baseline event of January 27.
