ASCLEPIOS

About the project

The vision of ASCLEPIOS was to maximize and fortify the trust of users on cloud-based healthcare services by developing mechanisms for protecting both corporate and personal sensitive data. ASCLEPIOS utilized several modern cryptographic approaches to build a cloud-based eHealth framework that protected users’ privacy and prevented both internal and external attacks. ASCLEPIOS offered to users the ability to verify the integrity of their medical devices prior to using them, whilst receiving certain guarantees about the trustworthiness of their cloud service provider. Furthermore, ASCLEPIOS offered a novel solution through which healthcare practitioners and medical researchers were able to calculate statistics on medical data in a privacy-preserving way. A list of activities aiming to raise security awareness within the healthcare industry were also foreseen to be organized by the project. The project’s results were showcased through three real-life, near production quality demonstrators provided by ASCLEPIOS healthcare partners, involving three leading European hospitals.
