Indra, one of the world's leading technology and consulting companies, leads P-Ictus, a project whose purpose is to create a solution for the prevention of stroke in at-risk patients, based on the knowledge extracted with Big Data technologies from the history of digital health and other non-clinical sources of patients. With a budget of two million euros, it will provide more accurate inputs for diagnosis, improving patient care.
For the development of this project, the Ictus Unit of the Hospital San Pedro de Alcántara de Cáceres (Spain) is being used as the main source of information. Basically, data is extracted from patients who have registered a stroke, such as information recorded in other sections of their clinical history such as hospitalizations, relapses, medication or diagnostic tests performed. This information will be combined with other sociodemographic, economic, climatological, pollution and social data to improve the subsequent individual stratification process.
All this information will be treated with Big Data statistical analysis techniques, thus, it will be possible to facilitate the creation of new algorithms based on physical and mathematical models, which will allow generating knowledge about the prevention and diagnosis of different types of stroke. The results obtained will facilitate the development of rules and models based on scientific evidence, which will be integrated into a decision support tool accessible to professionals.
The developed solution will generate the first information system generated from the data stored in the health histories of the health information systems. “In all sectors there is talk of the potential of Big Data techniques in health, but so far no one has been able to apply them to relevant clinical data validated by health professionals such as diagnoses, background or allergies”, explains Carlos Gutiérrez, health manager at Indra and project coordinator.
The P-Ictus is financed by the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER) and the Center for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI) and its completion is scheduled for the first quarter of 2019. In addition to Indra, the Casaverde Group, a organization specializing in the rehabilitation of stroke patients; DRIMAY, a peme from the region of Andalusia specialized in the statistical analysis of data and with a wide presence in the health sector; and Xtreme de Extremadura specializes in the development of IT tools for healthcare professionals' clinical stations.
health expertise
Indra has actively participated in the development of regional health systems in most of the Autonomous Communities. The company facilitated the implementation of electronic medical records in Andalusia (Diraya), in the Valencian Community (Abucasis) and in the Galician Health Service (IANUS).
In addition, it leads the implementation of Electronic Revenue with successful projects in Aragón, Andalusia, Asturias, Cantabria, Madrid, La Rioja, Murcia, Valencia, Galicia, as well as in the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla. Currently, it participates in the interoperability of Electronic Revenue in several autonomous communities. It also has emblematic projects in countries such as Bahrain, Chile, Colombia or the Philippines.
In the private healthcare sector, Indra is a leading provider of electronic medical records and hospital management solutions in Spain, serving more than 40 hospital centers, representing 48% of the centers belonging to the large private healthcare service networks in the country.
