Towards Semantic Interoperability Health Standardization Recommendation Tool

The European Rolling Plan for ICT Standardization outlines activities that connect EU policies to standardization efforts in different technological domains. Artificial Intelligence (AI), security, and cybersecurity are at the top of the agenda of the 2024 plan. Especially in the healthcare domain and with the introduction of the European Health Data Space (EHDS), selecting the proper interoperability standards to comply with the new regulation is essential. In this work, we reviewed standard-related tools and analyzed the pros and cons of different Standards Development Organizations (SDOs). Then, we defined the criteria for designing a standardization tool for health projects to improve the efficiency and quality of healthcare delivery and empower patients by giving them more control over their health data We aim to provide a concrete list of standards, raise awareness, and reduce the time needed to identify appropriate standards for future projects and initiatives.
