About HealthGrid
HealthGrid is an initiative that gathers means and people from different backgrounds wanting to reach one goal: to reinforce and to promote awareness of the possibilities and advantages linked to the deployment of Grid technologies in the biomedical sector.

The concept of HealthGrid is to develop a strong relationship with clinicians and researchers to gain feedback in integration of grid use into health and apply them in the biomedical, medical and biological domains.
