DataTools4Heart_Milestone MS6_1st prototype of DT4H platform and user interface

This document serves as the justification for achieving Milestone 6, which marks the release of the first integrated prototype of the platform's technical infrastructure. The primary objective is to deliver an operational Minimum Viable Product (MVP) of the DataTools4Heart platform. The prototype is designed to support the core research cycle of researchers, enabling them to design, manage and analyse the results of distributed and federated learning (FL) experiments across the DataTools4Heart federation. The current implementation is publicly available via the project’s central code repository at https://github.com/dataTools4Heart. Ongoing enhancements and refinements will continue across individual platform modules, alongside integration efforts, culminating in the final technical release of the platform by Month 36 (M36).
