Summary of challenges for Area 5

To manage nanomedicine-related data. New standards will be needed for storing data, augmenting clinical vocabularies and terminologies or exchanging electronic medical information Questions related to patient safety and possible secondary effects related to the use of nanoparticles need to be addressed and managed with nanoinformatics tools The creation of large databases that would store nano-related information can be complemented by new approaches to building EHRs. It will require a collaborative effort from a number of researchers, including international initiatives —e.g., USA-Europe
