The University of Warwick (WARWICK) is one of the UK's leading research led universities, ranking 7th overall in the UK in the last Research Assessment Exercise, where 87% of its research was classed a world leading or internationally excellent. Warwick is also a member of the Russell Group of universities, committed to maintaining the very best research, an outstanding teaching and learning experience and unrivalled links with business and the public sector for its 28,714 students. Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) is an academic department at the University of Warwick, providing research, education and knowledge transfer in engineering, manufacturing and technology. The Institute of Digital Healthcare (IDH) was established in 2010 and aims to improve people’s health and wellbeing through the use of innovative digital technologies. IDH is also part of the UK’s Health Data Research Initiative. Professor Theodoros N. Arvanitis, who is the lead WARWICK investigator for CAREPATH, is currently the Associate Director for the HDR UK’s Midlands Site.

WARWICK leads WP3 “Foundations of the Clinical Decision Support Services for the management of multimorbid elderly patients with dementia”, Task 3.1 (Patient-oriented Computer Interpretable Clinical guideline modelling), Task 3.5 (Safety Assessment of the CDSM Suite), Task 4.2 (Interoperability Framework), Task 4.8 (Integration and deployment and maintenance) and Task 8.3 (Dissemination and communication management). WARWICK is involved in most work tasks in the project.

IDH have relevant expertise and long-standing international research track record in the areas of clinical information systems for decision support, electronic healthcare records, biomedical terminology/vocabulary services and interoperability, biomedical ontologies, communication technologies in healthcare and e-trials applications, technology enhanced evidence-based medicine applications. IDH researchers have been involved in UK (BSI) and EU (CEN) standardisation work in the fields of biomedical imaging and informatics.
