Name EMIF
Long Name European Medical Information Framework
Description European Medical Information Framework. The EMIF project aims to develop a common information framework of patient-level data that will link up and facilitate access to diverse medical and research data sources, opening up new avenues of research for scientists. To provide a focus and guidance for the development of the framework, the project will focus initially on questions relating to obesity and Alzheimer’s disease.
Objectives 1. To establish an information framework to improve access to human health data by providing tools and workflows to discover, assess, access, and (re)use human health data. 2. To identify predictors and diagnostic biomarkers for Alzheimer’s Disease. 3. To identify predictors of metabolic complications in obesity.

The EMIF-AD 90+ study aimed to identify factors associated with resilience to cognitive impairment in the oldest-old. The study was conducted at the Amsterdam University Medical Center and at the University of Manchester. At baseline, neuropsychological and clinical data (vascular comorbidities, mood, sleep, physical performance, genetic factors) were collected from 129 participants (n=84 with normal cognition and n=38 with cognitive deficits). Regarding imaging measures: baseline MRI (n=92), Amyloid-PET (n=103) and MEG (n=92) have been collected. In addition, skin biopsies (n=99) and ultrasound of the carotid artery (n=102) are also collected. Currently (Oct 2019), the first annual follow-up measurements have completed in n=129 as of November 2019, with plans for a second annual follow-up 2020.

The EMIF-AD PreclinAD study aimed to indentify new risk factors and diagnostic markers for both amyloid pathology and cognitive decline in cognitively normal subjects with or without amyloid pathology. To investigate this, monozygotic twin pairs were included such that genetic and environmental pathways can be identified. For the baseline measurement n=204 cognitively healthy elderly monozygotic twins aged 60 years and older were included from the Manchester and Newcastle Age and Cognitive Performance Research Cohort and the Netherlands Twin Register. At baseline the following measurements were done: neuropsychological examination (n=204), blood sampling (n=204), CSF collection (n=127), ultrasound of the carotid artery (n=102), magnetoencephalography (n=190) and collection of ophthalmological markers (n=198). In n=192 (94%) the following follow-up measures were done after two years: containing a neuropsychological examination (n=191), blood collection (n=192) and CSF sampling (n=103). A second follow-up will be conducted in 2020. Data requests can be submitted via the EMIF-AD catalogue. For more information, please visit:

EMIF Catalogue

The EMIF Catalogue is designed to allow researchers to find databases which fulfil their particular research study requirements in a quick and easy way. This portal is a dynamic and flexible system which can be easily customised for different purposes and research interests.

The catalogue compromises several neurodegenerative research projects such as: EMIF-Alzheimer’s Disease (EMIF-AD), European Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease (EPAD) and Multiple Sclerosis Data Alliance (MSDA). EMIF-AD itself contains clinical, neuroimaging and -omics datasets from EMIF-AD MBD, 90+ and PreClinAD studies.

All databases are accessible from the link below.

EMIF-AD data Catalogue

The EMIF Platform is an IT platform that allows access to multiple, diverse data sources. The EMIF Catalogue, part of the EMIF platform, allows users to explore population-based and cohort-derived (predominately AD) data sources who have consented to provide such information for the purposes of bona fide researchers wanting to explore potential data partners for studies. The EMIF Platform makes this data available for browsing and allows exploitation in multiple ways by the end user. The EMIF Platform has leveraged data on more then 62 million European adults and children by means of federation of healthcare databases and cohorts from 7 different countries (DK, IT, NL, UK, ES, EE), designed to be representative of the different types of existing data sources (population-based registries, hospital-based databases, cohorts, national registries, biobanks, etc.).

Procedures for federated data management

IMI have produced a framework to address challenges raised by local governance rules and potential emerging commercial and academic conflicts across the different EMIF contributing EHR databases. Such a framework will involve all database holders/organisations as participants of the EMIF horizontal layer and has the sole aim to identify governance issues of conflicts of interest that require adaptation of technical functionalities. This in turn will help build a framework focussed on enabling health care providers as well as researchers to re-use patient data in such a way it is acceptable to all partners.

Risk factors for amyloid pathology, predictors for cognitive decline: clinical biology of AD

Trial design in pre-dementia AD is challenging because subjects with pre-dementia AD are difficult to identify and limited information is available on their outcome. The lack of reliable diagnostic and prognostic markers for pre-dementia AD can be explained by the availability of only small-scale ongoing biomarker studies and longitudinal cohorts including these subjects. EMIF has linked this information and unlocked the true potential of these studies. By connecting relevant cohort studies across Europe, EMIF-AD has set up a pan-European platform for large-scale research on biomarkers and risk factors for neurodegenerative disorders. The biomarker discovery activities in EMIF-AD were driven by an extreme phenotype approach, in which decline or biomarker status was used as the end point for biomarker discovery, rather than a clinical diagnosis. Doing so, EMIF-AD has developed new treatment targets, multimodality/omics diagnostic tools and qualification level biomarker datasets suitable for presentation to regulatory authorities prior to approval for use in clinical trials and practice. Finally, prediction rules for cognitive decline in presymptomatic and prodromal AD were developed which will not only improve clinical diagnosis and prognosis, but equally support subject selection and stratification in future clinical trials. These achievements have been possible because EMIF-AD combined both large-scale patient cohorts, linkage with EHR data, and cutting edge biomarker discovery expertise.
