The need for new skills for doctors innovating for the future and why an entrepreneurial mindset could be part of the solution. 

När flera olika datakällor behövs för att ge tillräckligt underlag för en individbaserad statistisk analys så krävs normalt att de olika datakällorna poolas innan analysen. Federerade analyser kan ge samma resultat av statistiska analyser trots att de olika datakällorna ligger kvar bakom dataägarens säkerhetsmekanismer och inga individuppgifter görs tillgängliga utanför den egna organisationen. Vi beskriver IT-tekniska, legala och statistiska aspekter på denna teknik. 

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of blindness in the West. This study utilizes spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) for retinal imaging and deep learning for analysis. A convolutional neural network (CNN) was trained on 1300 expert-annotated SD-OCT scans to identify AMD biomarkers. Transfer learning improved the CNN's performance using weights from a separate classifier. The model accurately detects and segments AMD biomarkers in OCT scans, potentially assisting in patient prioritization and reducing ophthalmologists' workloads.

In order to improve the conditions for clinical research in Europe and to stimulate multinational clinical trials, CTIS - clinical trial information system - has been developed. It is a platform that is ONE single entrance to the clinical trial application and includes both the drug application and ethical approval. Several years of preparatory work and a one-year transition period have ended and from February 1, 2023 CTIS has been put into use and is mandatory to use. CTIS has been built and improved in close cooperation with users (industry and academia) and national pharmaceutical authorities and EMA, the European Medicines Agency.

För att en e-hälsospecifikation ska få status som nationell och gemensam ska den genomgå en process där den bedöms med hjälp av olika kriterier – en form av kvalitetssäkring. E-hälsomyndigheten resonerar kring erfarenheterna från att ha bedömt Sveriges första NGS:er.

En presentation av vad en grunddatadomän för hälsa, vård och omsorg är och inte är. Föredraget handlar om hur E-hälsomyndigheten driver arbetet med en grunddatadomän för sektorn, vilka som ingår i samarbetet samt vad det bidrar med till det omfattande ”grupparbetet” som pågår kring interoperabilitet.

The smart data extractor is a semi-automatic data extraction software to assist clinician in the completion of case report forms.It is a pipeline build on top of Dr Warehouse, the Necker (ap-hp, France) data warehouse.It is based on thesauri and regular expression.It saves time and error and it is clinician friendly and easy to use.

Use of international standards is increasingly relevant for national e-health development. The international standardization organizations strengthen their cooperation and work targeted on common functional areas. At the same time, the EU is strengthening its work for the common use of standards in Europe. In order to achieve a faster development of solutions using the standards that affect us, the Nordic countries have strengthened their cooperation on standardization through the Nordic Council of Ministers' work on e-health.

Introduction to the session "Northern Excellence in Online Records" and short presentation of the NORDeHEALTH project.

This study has the overall aim to study physicians’ experiences of VCs, here focusing on their suggestions for future improvements. Twenty-two semi-structured interviews were performed with physicians working for an online healthcare provider in Sweden, and analyzed through inductive content analysis. Two themes emerged related to desired future improvements of VCs; blended care and technical innovation.

En kort presentation av informationsspecifikationen BBIC och hur den strukturerar informationen samt hur informationen sedan kan återanvändas exempelvis i framtagandet av statistik. Exempel på nyttor från en kommun redovisas.I NGS-tjänsten innehåller uppgifter om e-hälsospecifikationer som stödjer strukturerad dokumentation. Detta bidrar till en mer kunskapsbaserad socialtjänst.
