Dynaccurate and Pillcheck begin work on MDIP project

MDIP: Medications Data Interoperability Project

The Medications Data Interoperability Project (MDIP) intends to provide a ‘single source of truth’ for medications data internationally by using a future-proof data architecture incorporating AI, ontologies and blockchain, enriched by pharmacogenomic data, to improve patient safety globally.

Medications data is vital to patient safety and public health costs reduction yet few countries have comprehensive open access databases at reasonable cost. MDIP will show the relative simplicity and low cost of linking related medications across jurisdictions by using new technologies (ontology management using AI and blockchain for provenance). This NGI Sargasso project will create an open access website that links official medications data across EU, Canada and UK with pharmacogenomic (PGx) “flags”.

• Partners: Dynaccurate SARL (Luxembourg) and Pillcheck Inc (Canada).

• Duration: 9 months.
