    A distributed clinical data platform for physiological studies in the brain trauma domain
    STELL, ANTHONY ; SINNOTT, RICHARD ; Donald, Rob ; Chambers, Iain ; Citerio, Giuseppe ; Enblad, Per (IEEE Computer Society, 2010)
    There are many serious and acute physiological conditions about which we have incomplete medical knowledge that can support optimal healthcare intervention. To develop effective treatments a wealth of clinical data is required for collection, analysis and feedback. Such data often does exist but is typically held in a variety of different formats and locations. This paper describes the EU FP7-funded Avert-IT project (www.avert-it.org), which has developed an integrated, real-time physiological data grid infrastructure (HypoNet) to address the specific issue of prediction of hypotensive events in the brain trauma domain and is currently being used as part of a large multi-centre clinical trial. The implementation and application of the HypoNet system is described here.
