HealthGrid Association |
The HealthGrid initiative, represented by the HealthGrid association, was initiated to bring the necessary long term continuity. Its goal is to collaborate with projects onthe following activities:
- Identification of potential business models for medical Grid applications.
- Feedback to the Grid development community on the requirements of the pilot applications deployed by the European projects.
- Development of a systematic picture of the broad and specific requirements of physicians and other health workers when interacting with Grid applications.
- Dialogue with clinicians and those involved in medical research and Grid development to determine potential pilots.
- Interaction with clinicians and researchers to gain feedback from the pilots.
- Interaction with all relevant parties concerning legal and ethical issues identified by the pilots.
