Rapidshare 2: Datasharing service for outbreak tracing

Purpose and goal

The aim of the project is to offer a cloud-based infection control service to European and American customers. The goals were to expand the functionality of the data sharing service developed in the previous Swelife project and to test the concept internationally. Both goals were successfully was met. The service was tested in collaboration with 5 University hospitals in Sweden, Denmark, The Netherlands and Switzerland. The users were happy with the results and greatly approve of the functionality and usability of the product.

Expected results and effects

1928 Diagnostics has further developed, tested and can now offer a data-sharing service for infection detection to hospitals in Europe and the United States. The service is used to quickly and effectively stop and prevent outbreaks of antibiotic resistant bacteria in hospitals and in the community. Together with 5 University hospitals in Europe, we will as pioneers publish an international outbreak analysis made on a digital platform and show how we in the future can work effectively with outbreak tracing within and between countries.

Planned approach and implementation

The implementation took place according to plan outlined in the work packages described in proposal. Everything worked very well despite loosing our testing partner due to internal problems in their organisation. We formed new collaborations with 5 hospitals and the testing is carried out successfully with great success. Fortunately, the end result will be much better and have greater impact than we could achieve with the first partner. In summary, we are very pleased with the project and are content to be able to launch a user-friendly and innovative product internationally.
