PERFORM: Building and Mining Electronic Records of Neurological Patients Being Monitored in the Home

The PERFORM project is building a novel application for the home-based monitoring and assessment of people with neurologically based movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). PERFORM includes a hospital-based EHR data-analysis and mining system compatible with HL7. For EHR to include monitoring data an alert-based system of data reduction is used which supports both patient management and modelling. Pilots will be started in Spain, Greece and Italy in 2009. PERFORM is in the early stages of development and is an FP7 integrated project.
