What is GALEN?
GALEN is the name given to a technology that is designed to represent clinical information in a new way, and is intended to put the clinical into the clinical workstation . GALEN produces a computer-based multilingual coding system for medicine, using a qualitatively different approach from those used in the past. The GALEN Programme represents the overall development of the technology, which has included several EU-funded Research Projects (the GALEN & GALEN-IN-USE projects). OpenGALEN is a not-for-profit organisation that has been formed to enable the widest possible exploitation of some of the results of the GALEN Programme.
