GAIA-X-Med -A trustworthy data infrastructure for healthcare in Europe

A trustworthy data infrastructure for healthcare in Europe 

The GAIA-X-Med initiative, which is funded by the state of Schleswig Holstein, is committed to creating a secure, data protection-compliant and trustworthy data infrastructure in the European healthcare sector. It was thus linked to the overarching GAIA-X initiative, which promotes a European cloud infrastructure for perse industries. The aim of the project was to support the digital transformation in the healthcare sector by making healthcare data accessible in a controlled and secure manner for medical research, diagnostics and therapy in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). 

One of GAIA-X-Med's outstanding and particularly innovative projects is the Yo-Ga-X project. This focuses on the anonymisation and pseudonymisation of health data in order to enable secure and efficient data exchange between different institutions. Yo-Ga-X is a key component of the GAIA-X ecosystem that ensures trustworthy and data protection-compliant processing of health data in the digital space. 

The data trustee model (DTM) developed as part of GAIA-X-Med combined with a corresponding data ecosystem provide a comprehensive basis for the secure handling of health data. Further information is available under the following links:

GAIA-X-Med has made a decisive contribution to the modern and secure use of health data, driving research, patient care and innovation in equal measure. 

The project was implemented by a consortium of experts consisting of: University of Lübeck, UniTransferKlinik Lübeck GmbH, Dataport, visotec GmbH, PLATO GmbH, Stryker, Hypros GmbH, Johnson & Johnson, IMAGE Information Systems.
