Scientific achievements

1. Two conceptual models for data and metadata respectively, both general, able to represent various multi-modal healthcare data, allowing the usage of ontologies, and extensible to various healthcare scenarios
2. An ETL algorithm to fully automatically convert existing data and metadata to instances of our models, resulting in an interoperable database
3. A metadata and data catalogue for exploration and ease federated learning algorithm design.

Practical outcomes

1. Each hospital has an interoperable database, part of the global BETTER network
2. Federated learning algorithms are co-created and implemented by researchers and practitioners
3. The catalogue implementation for the 3 use-cases (genetic rare diseases)
