Brain monitoring with information technology: an open, internet based, transnational infrastructure for health care technology assessment in brain injury (BRAIN IT)

Objective

The Brain IT network is an open transactional consortium of clinicians, scientists, Sees and large scale industry using computer and internet based technology to raise standards for multi-centre collaboration on methods for monitoring and treating patients with traumatic brain injury (www.brainit.gla.ac.uk/brainit). We aim to improve the hardware and software infrastructure to raise the open standards for multi-centre data collection and data validation and to broaden access to the Brain IT database; improve the coordination and long term funding prospects by restructuring the consortium on a country by country basis; disseminate to interested bodies the utility and cost-efficiency of the Brain IT network as an essential service for implementing multi-centre collaborative research and for measuring, maintaining and raising standards of treating patients with traumatic brain injury.
