Development of a Metamodel for Medical Database Management on a Grid Network: Application to Health Watch and Epidemiology for Cancer and Perinatal Health

Centralized management of patient data is no more a viable solution. In many countries, patient identification restrictions due to privacy laws implies developing thorough mechanism to avoid duplicates and information loss. In this paper we present a work in progress dealing with a grid distributed medical data base. GPU based identification algorithms for disease surveillance, medical data exchange and epidemiological analyses.
