Data protection-compliant and intuitive management of patient data
As part of the ATHENE project MeDiTwin, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institutes IGD and SIT are jointly developing innovative solutions for the secure and decentralized storage of medical data in strict compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation. The medical digital twins designed by researchers enable fine-grained access control using attribute-based encryption and represent an alternative to centralized cloud storage solutions.
Access management is handled by a user-friendly dashboard that provides both medical professionals and patients with an intuitive visualization of the stored data and its release status, as Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jörn Kohlhammer, head of the Information Visualization and Visual Analytics department at Fraunhofer IGD, explains. Special attention was paid to the graphical representation of long-term data, which allows trends and changes to be quickly identified and optimizes informed decision-making in a medical context. The current development status of the project will be demonstrated at DMEA 2025 in Berlin using specific application scenarios such as nephrological issues, chronic inflammatory bowel disease, and Parkinson's disease.
