RESEARCH<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Collaborative research requires interconnected data.<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

For many years, we have been helping research networks make data from different laboratories and institutions available for shared use .<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

A key example is the Clinical Virology Network:, a cross-site network for the continuous collection, consolidation, and analysis of virological and bacteriological laboratory data.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

CLINICAL VIROLOGY NETWORK<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Many years of experience with distributed laboratory data.<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Since 2009, MEDEORA has supported the Clinical Virology Network as a technical and organizational partner. The network connects physicians, laboratories, and research institutions across institutional and geographic boundaries. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The goal is to identify trends in infectious agents at an early stage and to provide reliable data for research and public health.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

What began as a network for monitoring respiratory infections has been expanded over the years to include additional pathogen groups and specialized fields. Today, data from numerous laboratories are digitally consolidated and made available for scientific, epidemiological, and publicly accessible analyses. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

EXPERIENCE LEADS TO A SOLUTION<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

MEDEORA Data Network<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The many years of experience gained in establishing, further developing, and operating the Clinical Virology Network form a essential foundation for the MEDEORA Data Network.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

In this way, we are applying proven concepts for data integration, harmonization, visualization, and long-term operation to other research, public health, and life sciences projects.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
