26 +
27 +Neurodiagnoses integrates clinical data via the **EBRAINS Medical Informatics Platform (MIP)**. MIP federates decentralized clinical data, allowing Neurodiagnoses to securely access and process sensitive information for AI-based diagnostics.
28 +
29 +==== How It Works ====
30 +
31 +
32 +1. (((
33 +**Authentication & API Access:**
34 +
35 +* Users must have an **EBRAINS account**.
36 +* Neurodiagnoses uses **secure API endpoints** to fetch clinical data (e.g., from the **Federation for Dementia**).
37 +)))
38 +1. (((
39 +**Data Mapping & Harmonization:**
40 +
41 +* Retrieved data is **normalized** and converted to standard formats (.csv, .json).
42 +* Data from **multiple sources** is harmonized to ensure consistency for AI processing.
43 +)))
44 +1. (((
45 +**Security & Compliance:**
46 +
47 +* All data access is **logged and monitored**.
48 +* Data remains on **MIP servers** using **federated learning techniques** when possible.
49 +* Access is granted only after signing a **Data Usage Agreement (DUA)**.
50 +)))
51 +
52 +==== Implementation Steps ====
53 +
54 +
55 +1. Clone the repository.
56 +1. Configure your **EBRAINS API credentials** in mip_integration.py.
57 +1. Run the script to **download and harmonize clinical data**.
58 +1. Process the data for **AI model training**.
