From EHR chaos to AI-ready data: the InToEHR Podcast Series
On 6 March and 15 June, Cristian Izquierdo Morcillo (University of Barcelona, Spain), Robert Mikulik (Chair of the Neurology Department at Regional Hospital Zlín and Director of the Stroke Research Program at St. Anne’s University Hospital, Czech Republic), and Guido Bertolini (Head of the Department of Epidemiology at the Mario Negri Institute, Milan, Italy) hosted the two-part podcast series “From EHR Chaos to AI-Ready Data: The InToEHR Podcast Series”.
The series introduces the InToEHR cluster, a group of Horizon Europe projects developing innovative tools for the use and reuse of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) in cardiology, emergency medicine, and stroke care.
Experts from DataTools4Heart, eCREAM, and RES-Q+ discussed how they are moving from “data chaos” to AI-ready data through multilingual Natural Language Processing (NLP), automated data extraction, and semantic enrichment. The conversation explored how these technologies can reduce clinical workload while ensuring ethical, sustainable, and compliant data use within the emerging European Health Data Space (EHDS).
Listeners gained valuable insights into how collaborative European initiatives are responsibly transforming routine clinical data into smarter, safer, and more efficient patient care.
