Within the cloud4health project, SCAI focuses on a secure platform for text mining workflows that can easily and efficiently be deployed in private and public cloud infrastructures. SCAI designs and implements processes and workflows for text mining on clinical data, providing the resulting text mining platform to users from participating clinics. The platform will be made available to external users after the end of the project­. This includes setting up and providing the initial cloud IaaS infrastructure for the text mining platform to be developed. Furthermore, SCAI implements the mechanisms­ to protect the data from unauthorised access, provides the mechanisms for authentication and authorization for accessing data.
