Main results
Main innovations and EHDS recommendations
DEvSECOPS Approach
Gatekeeper integrates an automated, secure image building pipeline to ensure that every artifact deployed within it undergoes rigorous vulnerability risk analysis, ensuring compliance, or is automatically rejected.
Gatekeeper DEVSECOPS is a proactive measure that aligns with best practices in cybersecurity. It not only protects against potential threats but also fosters a culture of security and continuous improvement within the development process.
EHDS recommendations
Ensuring the security of every EHDS processing environment is imperative, and it necessitates the incorporation of essential functionality.
This critical feature is particularly crucial during the deployment of artifacts, underscoring the indispensable need for an automated, secure image building pipeline.
FHIR based interoperability
Gatekeeper rigorously assessed various interoperability standards, ultimately designating FHIR as the indisputable leader in providing a standardized approach for health data management.
EHDS recommendations:
- Gatekeeper has been an early adopter of FHIR.
- Gatekeeper has a lot of lessons learnt to share on usage of FHIR within its pilots.
- On the other hand THEDAS project has already provided a Common Assessment Method for Standards and Specifications (CAMSS) and suggested to adopt FHIR for EHDS.
A trusted research environment for primary and secondary use of data
It is a multi-tenant microservice based platform that integrates secure interoperable transactional systems (OLTP) with analytics systems (OLAP) for massive data management and building AI services.
The OLTP enables primary use of DATA
The OLAP enables secondary use of DATA
EHDS recommendations:
Integrating OLTP and OLAP systems within a shared Secure Processing environment facilitates both primary and secondary data use, ensuring privacy by enabling local data processing.
Additionally. Gatekeeper take advantage of flexibility of FHIR standard for describing services for exchange AI models and services across different pilots that share the same FHIR implementation guide.
EHDS recommendations:
Reproducibility of AI training and AI validation is fundamental for healthcare data spaces, Gatekeeper provides and easy and standard based solution for AI models and services.
