FIWARE is an open-source cloud platform that provides generic enablers (GEs) for building applications via APIs. The FI-STAR project conducts trials across Europe to validate the platform in healthcare applications, improving service access and data sharing. The project is funded by the EU's Seventh Framework Programme, ensuring a collaborative approach to innovation in telemedicine and healthcare technologies.

5. FI-STAR executes seven early trials across Europe. Trials validate the FIWARE core
platform and introduces ultra-light interactive applications for user functionality and a
secure service access and data sharing provided by the PaaS operator.

services for people with Mental Health
problems. Improve access to care and apply
Core Platform to other already existing
services successively.
Medichem, in Leeds, UK
To implement the 2-D Pharmacy
bar-coding, offering a real time reverse supply
chain model to prevent error and
counterfeiting and create interfaces to
additional third part services.
CUP 2000, in Bologna, Italy
