The CLAIMS project is a public-private partnership aiming to address this and make precision medicine for Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients a reality through data-driven prognosis and treatment advice, in order to better slow down disease progression and eventually conversion to progressive MS. We will develop, validate and submit for regulatory approval a companion diagnostic platform, which offers the MS care team a holistic view of the patient through the visualization of the clinical and subclinical biomarkers and the prediction of the expected disease trajectory under different treatments. For biomarker extraction and treatment prediction, state-of-the-art technologies that allow a reliable and scalable implementation across the world will be used. We believe this platform will initiate the paradigm shift from a trial-and-error, experienced-based treatment of MS patients to a first-time-right, value-based holistic treatment management, and will, hence, improve patient outcomes at a lower total cost of care, enhance patient experience and improve the well-being of the care team.
The aim of PROMINENT is to create a platform for precision medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative disease and co-morbidities.

The digital platform that will integrate complex, multi-modal diagnostic data and generate personalized predictions of patient-relevant outcomes and evidence-based recommendations for clinical management will also provide meaningful support to clinicians, patients, and care partners. Furthermore, it is aimed that with such platform it can be facilitated the appropriate introduction of new medical technologies (diagnostic and therapeutic innovations) and it can be provided required evidence on safety, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness for stakeholders including regulators, health technology assessment and reimbursement bodies and payers.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is establishing a Coordination Centre to provide timely and reliable evidence on the use, safetyand effectiveness of medicines for human use, including vaccines, from realworld healthcare databases across the European Union (EU). The role of the Coordination Centre is to develop and manage a network of real-world healthcare data sources across the EU and to conduct scientific studies requested by medicines regulators and, at a later stage, also requested by other stakeholders. By supporting decision-making on medicines, a wide range of stakeholders will benefit, from patients and healthcare professionals to health technology assessment bodies, payers and the pharmaceutical industry. Additionally, DARWIN EU® will provide an invaluable resource to prepare for and respond to future healthcare crises and pandemics.
The mission of the European Health Data & Evidence Network (EHDEN) is to provide a new paradigm for the discovery and analysis of health data in Europe, by building a large-scale, federated network of data sources standardised to a common data model. EHDEN will build on prior projects, such as EMIF and EHR4CR, in scaling their original intents and technologies.
