Integrated Patient Data Platform for Rare Disease Drug Development and Care

healthTestedTRL 5

Imagine a digital hub that gathers everything about a patient's health—from doctor reports and wearable watch data to how the patient actually feels every day. Instead of this information being scattered in different folders, it's all synced in one place. This makes it much easier for scientists to see if a new medicine is actually working in real life.

The business problem

What needed solving

Developing treatments for rare diseases is slowed by fragmented data and a lack of insight into patient preferences. This makes recruiting for clinical trials difficult and regulatory approval uncertain.

The solution

What was built

An omni data platform called the Interactium, including a patient interface for data control, a wearable device infrastructure, and a toolkit for patient organizations.

Who can put this to work

Pharmaceuticals
enterprise
Target: Drug developer specializing in rare diseases

If you are a drug developer dealing with limited patient numbers for clinical trials — this project developed the Interactium platform that uses real-world data to facilitate successful clinical trials and support regulatory decision-making.

Medical Devices
SME
Target: Wearable health tech manufacturer

If you are a wearable tech company dealing with fragmented data integration — this project developed an architecture for wearable infrastructure that aligns device data with clinical registries to improve patient outcomes.

Healthcare Providers
mid-size
Target: Specialized neuromuscular clinics

If you are a clinic dealing with inconsistent care standards — this project developed tools to create standards of care guidelines using patient-reported data to monitor and improve patient care.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

What is the cost or pricing for using the Interactium platform?

Based on available project data, there is no specific pricing model mentioned; however, the project received an EU contribution of EUR 2,687,970 for development.

Can this system be scaled to diseases other than neuromuscular disorders?

Yes, the project aims to provide shared learning to scale-up similar systems across all rare diseases and suggests it is equally relevant to common diseases like diabetes.

Who owns the IP or how is licensing handled for the data tools?

Based on available project data, the project focuses on FAIR data principles and appropriate consents, but specific licensing terms for the software are not detailed.

How does this platform handle regulatory requirements?

The platform is specifically designed to provide patient data that supports regulatory decision-making and aligns with the needs of regulators.

How does the platform integrate with existing health data?

It integrates data from patient registries, patient-reported outcome measures, and Internet of Things devices into a single omni data platform.

Consortium

Who built it

The consortium is well-balanced for commercial translation, consisting of 12 partners across 6 countries. With a 25% industry ratio (3 industrial partners) and 4 SMEs, there is a strong bridge between academic research and market application. The leadership by a patient organization ensures the end-user needs are integrated into the technical development.
