2010 , Giambene, G. , Chini, P. , Hadzic, S. , Cox, B. , Hatzaras, K. , Menevidis, Z. , Mitrou, E. , Lange, M. , Schug, S. , Stylianidis, S.

This deliverable starts with a brief review of the projects that have been identified as background for the VPH framework. It then presents the methodology adopted for the elicitation of user S&P requirements by considering several categories of users intended as VPH stakeholders, the composition of a respondent sample of organisations, and the data collection methods. Consultation of stakeholders has been carried out by means of questionnaires of three different types: (i) a first pilot questionnaire (for identifying some main S&P topics), (ii) a full Web questionnaire for massive access (for statistics purposes), and (iii) a legal questionnaire (for contacting EU national data protection authorities). In addition to this, requirements have been elicited through interviews based on an interview guide) and in panel sessions in two workshops organised by RADICAL project.

RADICAL-VPH-Security/Privacy-Questionnaire

2009 , Chini, P. , Cox, B. , Giambene, G. , Guariglia, C. , Hadzic, S. , Hatzaras, K. , Kolios, A. , Lange, M. , Menevidis, Z. , Mitrou, L. , Smagas, K. , Tavlaki, E.

This questionnaire deals with the Virtual Physiological Human (VPH) that is a methodological and technological framework for the investigations of the human body as a single system. In particular, VPH entails computational and Information & Communication Technology (ICT)-based tools for collecting clinical and laboratory observations, as well as for creating large collections of models that can be interconnected to simulate human anatomy, physiology and pathology, thus permitting scientists and medical practitioners a better knowledge of the real physiological human. VPH is a multi-disciplinary field aimed at developing quantitative, integrative and predictive models that describe human life from conception to death and from genes to the whole organism.
