4 WHY WE TRIED OPEN SOURCE MODEL Non profit organization R&D Centre Technology transfer User driven innovation Living Lab approach similarto Open Source methodology Modularity Future deployment and sustainable project An efficient way to coordinate ehealth projects among several institutions reducing the development time 4

5 i2cat FLOSS Framework for ehealth R&D projects 5

6 ehealth PROJECTS LIFE CYCLE Birth of the project Requirements: gathered during all life cycle of the project Design and Development: Release early, release often [1] Testing: driven by final users. Deployment in real environment [1] Eric S. Raymond, The Cathedral and the Bazaar 6

7 PROJECT EXAMPLE: VIEWCAT A multi videoconference platform based on open source software: Red5, MySql, Apache Tomcat, Open Office, Debian Birth: need of Vall Hebron Hospital for a TeleMedicine platform Requirements: Videoconference Multi videoconference Presentation Sharing Improved Quality of Service Stakeholders:medical staff (doctors and nurses), technical staff from hospital, patients, management Design and development: from first prototype and every weeks Testing: living lab approach and pilots 7

9 FLOSS FRAMEWORK ehealth projects 1. ehealth R&D projects: share the life cycle and a subset of defined tools and services Common life cycle 2. i2cat common tools: based on i2cat Common Tools 2 i2cat common tools based on FLOSS model as Wiki, Issue Tracker, Mailing List, Version Control System, Open Source Development Environment Platforms and Services 3. Platforms and services: common services and operating system 9

12 Open Source policies in Catalonia 12

13 CATALONIAN GOVERNMENT AND UNIVERSITY INITIATIVES Telecommunications and Information Society Department (STSI) promotes po oesthe use of FLOSS in Catalonia: aao a Migration of internal software to FLOSS. (Example: Thunderbird) Use of open source frameworks for internal developments. (Canigó Framework) Use of FLOSS to improve the interoperability and accessibility of administration services. Promote FLOSS in collaboration with Universities, companies and associations. Encourage the use of FLOSS in the educational field. Linkat and Càtix distribution. Formation in specific FLOSS tools

14 Future Directions 14

15 FUTURE DIRECTIONS Start contributing to the FLOSS HC community with our developments and expertise. Participation in other specific fields: Dissemination Events and conferences R&D in ehealth collaborative projects following this way of working. 15
