System Engineering and Prototypical Setup of an Integrated Laboratory Data Platform in the Field of eHealth

摘要

eHealth has always been an interdisciplinary field and involves a variety of stakeholders coming from different working areas but have to collaborate for a greater goal. This setup can also be found in research projects and teams leading to the problem, that research data, measurements and other information - when not published - are often not stored permanently or not accessible for others or future tasks. In the age of knowledge data have been discovered as hidden and precious resources when putting them in new contexts - value can even be generated when not looking for it. This paper addresses the dynamic field of research, where the gathering of new knowledge is of special interest. The presented approach refers to an already existing laboratory infrastructure and aims to collect data from various linked resources. Therefore system requirements have been elaborated as well as a prototypical solution for setting up a platform that realises an integrated laboratory infrastructure. Having a central interface allows researchers to benefit from already available data resources. The solution is based on state-of-the-art-technologies which will also cover arising future demands.
