Information on the Demonstrations:

PADME is a Platform for Analytics and Distributed Machine learning for Enterprises, that has been successfully deployed and validated in several research data infrastructures. It offers a secure platform to transfer algorithms and analytics tasks, an isolated environment to run tasks with data, and tools to prevent data leakage.
PADME builds on the Personal Health Train (PHT) paradigm for performing distributed data analytics tasks to address the federated learning challenges. Data remains in its original location – this guarantees the highest data protection standards.
PURAITE is a young start-up and its core technology is a AI-powered search engine geared towards medical researchers. They aim to revolutionize the way academia conducts research by:
- Minimizing Time-to-Insight by accelerating the speed in which life science researchers gain insights
- Access for All: PURAITE offers its basic product free of charge to everyone
- Cutting-Edge AI Technology: their state-of-the-art machine learning approach empowers researchers everywhere to push the boundaries of discovery


SRDC is a high-performance SME that originates from a successful academic spin-off from the Middle East Technical University in Turkey. In the DemoDay@Cologne SRDC will present the OnFhir.io service ecosystem that constitutes the backbone of a Chronic Disease Management Platform and KronIQ, which is an Integrated Care Platform supporting intelligent decision support services for diagnosis, monitoring, and management of chronic diseases.
OnFhir.io service ecosystem provides a toolset, toFHIR Engine, which is a high-performant and easy-to-use ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) tool to transform existing health datasets from various types of sources to HL7 FHIR.
