Area of Science:

Biomedical research
Data management
Privacy-preserving technologies

Background:

Rapid collaborative research is crucial for biomedicine, necessitating robust data and biosample sharing.
Establishing large research networks faces challenges in interoperability, data protection, and common policies.
Pseudonymization is vital for privacy by design in biomedical research, detaching identifiers while allowing reidentification.

Purpose of the Study:

To address the lack of rapidly deployable, cross-institutional pseudonymization tools.
To present the ORCHESTRA Pseudonymization Tool (OPT) developed for large-scale research networks.
To overcome IT infrastructure heterogeneity and data processing limitations.

Main Methods:

Developed the OPT leveraging common office suite runtime environments (Microsoft Office, LibreOffice).

research network

Ensured high configurability for subject/biosample registration, record linkage, and label printing.

Focused on efficient algorithms for pseudonymizing large datasets, validated through comprehensive evaluation.

Main Results:

OPT is deployable on Windows, Linux, and MacOS, offering multi-user support and customizability.
Successfully deployed across 13 institutions in 11 European countries within the ORCHESTRA network.
Managed data for over 30,000 subjects and 15,000 biosamples, printing over 10,000 labels.
Demonstrated efficient performance, pseudonymizing 100,000 subjects in 10 seconds (Excel) and 54 seconds (LibreOffice).

Conclusions:

Innovative solutions are needed to streamline the establishment of large research networks.
The OPT facilitates rapid deployment of pseudonymization and biosample management in research networks.
The tool's open-source nature, configurability, and efficiency make it a valuable asset for collaborative biomedical research.
