Abstract
This presentation reviews the variety of contributions and attempts an historical perspective on the evolution of work in healthgrids. In particular, it attempts to compare and contrast work carried out on the two sides of the Atlantic. The project SHARE has completed its work in devising a road map for research and deployment of healthgrids as the infrastructure of choice for biomedical research informatics in the first place and healthcare informatics in the future. A brief report of the road map and a comparison with actual developments completes the presentation.
