Meet our Project Partner: European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI)

The European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI) plays a key role in the INSAFEDARE project by strengthening its visibility, scientific outreach, and engagement with the European medical informatics community. As a core partner, EFMI contributes primarily to impact and dissemination activities, helping ensure that the project’s research outcomes reach the right audiences and inform practice in digital health and medical device regulation.

Connecting INSAFEDARE with the Medical Informatics Community

Through its extensive European network of researchers, clinicians, educators, and professional societies, EFMI supports stakeholder engagement and knowledge exchange across national and international contexts. The federation represents INSAFEDARE at major scientific and professional events, including Medical Informatics Europe (MIE) and EFMI Special Topic Conferences (STC), using workshops, oral presentations, posters, and dissemination materials to present the project’s objectives and emerging results.

These activities help position INSAFEDARE within ongoing discussions on synthetic health data, data quality, interoperability, and regulatory support for digital health and medical devices, fostering dialogue between technical experts, healthcare professionals, and policy-oriented audiences.

Disseminating Scientific and Technical Results

EFMI also supports the communication and uptake of INSAFEDARE’s technical work, including results produced within the project’s core research activities. This includes promoting insights from key deliverables—such as the project’s in-depth analysis of electronic health record (EHR) data types, quality dimensions, interoperability challenges, and privacy considerations—and helping translate these findings into formats that are accessible and relevant to a wider professional audience.

By amplifying these results through conferences, digital channels, and partner communications, EFMI helps bridge the gap between technical research and real-world regulatory and clinical contexts.

Supporting Education and Professional Dialogue

As a long-standing leader in medical informatics education, EFMI contributes to professional dialogue and knowledge transfer by engaging its working groups, assemblies, and educational networks, including the LEAD (EducationaL EFMI Assembly Designed for BMHI) initiative. These forums provide spaces where INSAFEDARE concepts and findings can be discussed, contextualized, and linked to broader developments in healthcare informatics, digital health regulation, and training.

Enhancing the Long-Term Impact of INSAFEDARE

Through its dissemination, networking, and engagement activities, EFMI strengthens the credibility, reach, and long-term impact of the INSAFEDARE project. By connecting project outcomes with the wider European medical informatics ecosystem, EFMI supports awareness, understanding, and future uptake of approaches that promote safe, interoperable, and privacy-preserving use of real-world and synthetic health data in digital health regulation.
