Is the OMOP CDM something for Swedish HealthTech companies? (about OMOP CDM: https://lnkd.in/dE_5qP_a) Leveraging the OMOP CDM provides HealthTech companies with multiple advantages, including improved data standardization and interoperability, accelerated R&D, and the ability to scale analytics and AI-driven insights. It also facilitates global collaboration, cost efficiency, and supports clinical innovation, particularly in areas such as personalized medicine and real-world evidence generation. Here are 5 concrete examples how OMOP CDM provides value to HealthTech companies: 1) Data Integration: The OMOP CDM provides a unified structure for healthcare data from diverse sources (e.g., electronic health records (EHRs), claims data, registries). This standardization allows HealthTech companies to integrate and analyze data across multiple systems and organizations without needing to deal with inconsistencies in formats or terminologies. 2) Improved Interoperability: OMOP's use of standard vocabularies like SNOMED, LOINC, and ICD facilitates interoperability between different systems and data platforms. This ensures HealthTech solutions can work in harmony with existing healthcare infrastructure. 3) Faster Time to Insights: By using OMOP CDM, HealthTech companies can quickly harmonize large, diverse datasets, enabling faster hypothesis generation and testing for clinical studies, drug development, and real-world evidence (RWE) analysis. 4) Scalability for Machine Learning and AI: With data already standardized, it becomes easier to apply advanced analytics, such as machine learning models and artificial intelligence, to identify patterns in patient outcomes, predict disease progression, or optimize treatment protocols. 5) Easier Data Sharing for Multi-Center Studies: By leveraging OMOP, HealthTech companies can participate in global research networks like OHDSI (Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics), which uses OMOP to harmonize data from numerous institutions around the world. This enables collaborative studies across different countries and healthcare systems, expanding the potential for impactful, large-scale research. There are more benefits.

2873 healthcare professionals have spoken: their telemedicine software must be more user-friendly! 📣 This spring, we conducted a survey among Swedish healthcare professionals, asking them about the telemedicine software they use in their daily work. When rating the user experience of the systems they have used, the average score was 5.6 out of 10. 🙁 This rating indicates there is still much work to be done in the healthcare sector. Software companies must place greater emphasis on the end-users, and a significant responsibility also falls on decision-makers to prioritize user experience when evaluating telemedicine systems for their organizations. Together, we can surely supply better digital tools to the people working in healthcare, and in that way also help their patients. 👩‍👦 Would you like to discuss how the user experience could improve in your telemedicine system? With Curoflow we want to take user experience to the next level, so both healthcare providers and their patients can feel the flow. 💙 See our survey (in Swedish): https://lnkd.in/duHDcVnn #telemedicine #telehealth #digitalhealthcare #healthcare

Attending The Swedish Register-Based Research Summit 2024 Dec 2? Lars S. Halvorsen, co-founder of edenceHealth, is presenting. Topic: Enhancing Interdisciplinary Research Through OMOP CDM Transformation of Disease Registries in the Nordics Transforming registry data to OHDSI’s OMOP Common Data Model (CDM) will enhance interoperability and accelerate register-based research. By adopting the OMOP CDM, disease registries can align with an internationally recognized data standard that supports consistent structure, terminology, and data quality across diverse sources. This transformation facilitates comparative research and data pooling on a global scale, enabling researchers across disciplines - such as epidemiology, clinical medicine, and public health - to efficiently integrate and analyse data. Moreover, OMOP CDM promotes scalability and reusability, allowing data to be reused in various studies without the need for repeated data reformatting. This not only expedites research workflows but also enables collaborative studies that can draw insights from multiple registries. Through standardized data, researchers can perform more robust cross-disciplinary analyses, enhancing the scope of research into complex health issues and enabling a deeper understanding of population health trends across a federated data network. Several Nordic countries have already pioneered this shift, converting registries to OMOP CDM to improve data comparability and research quality. For example, institutions like Norway’s Cancer Registry and Finland’s FinRegistry have successfully transitioned to OMOP CDM, illustrating its viability and effectiveness for diverse healthcare datasets. Moreover, adopting OMOP CDM improves data accessibility and security, providing a structured framework for managing sensitive health information, and facilitating compliance with data protection regulations. By embracing OMOP CDM, disease registries will empower researchers to leverage high-quality, harmonized data to address pressing health challenges, ultimately fostering a collaborative ecosystem that enhances the impact of registry-based research.

HLTH Europe is coming to a close today, and that is a good time summarize. 1. We are in an age of AI buzz at the max, almost every panel had AI mentioned multiple times. 2. Medical dat is key, but making it available and integrating with it is still not a simple task in every country, and in order to unlock the value, there is still a road ahead - Standardization, API's and also process. 3. Start ups have amazing concepts and tools, but because of point number two I think it will be time for platform integration approaches as it will become an issue managing so many elements in to health system IT infrastructure. EHR vendors have already started, but it needs to get easier, better and more user friendly. 4. Healthcare is a glocal system - while the research and human body is mostly the same across the global, the nuance and local systems are very different, and maybe in devices, medicines you can usually stick to a product, when it comes to digital and AI solutions the amount of customization, and business models might kill you on the road to commercial viability. Share you thoughts about AI, data and local variabilities
