The global health sector is rapidly developing in personalised medicine. Personalised medicine is set to transform the ICT-health service and vice versa – ICT solutions allow varied information sources to be monitored or combined in ways that provide quicker, safer, and more personalised approach.

Technological advances present new opportunities in diagnostics and treatment, and personalised medicine is thus a field where clinical practice and research are closely linked. As citizens are becoming more active in monitoring their health, there is an urgent need for reliable and user-friendly tools for the collection of health-related data from study participants for research purposes.

In terms of developing custom solutions, the main challenge is reaching and engaging end users. Another important challenge in interdisciplinary and international research efforts is to ensure that innovative solutions for harmonization of data and cross-sectoral coherence in collected data will allow meta-analysis of different datasets with as much overlap as possible.

Quretec has already developed web-based forms and databases technology Qure Data Management Platform (Qure Platform). The core idea of Qure Platform can be used in this current project to further develop it with close collaboration with end-users with the aim to overcome the barriers outlined above.

The objective is to develop a mobile friendly app My Health Study for data collection and feedback of personalised health information under high security requirements based on biobank or study participants. For the pseudonymization of the participants, separate authentication server will be developed. The personal identification information will be separated from the health information with different physical locations and cryptographic methods.
