1. A data structure comprising a plurality of biomedical parameters for providing a plurality of biomedical parameter values as input to a medical decision support system,whereby the plurality of biomedical parameter values comprises a first set of parameter values, each parameter value of the first set of biomedical parameter values being a laboratory value having been derived by analyzing a body fluid or tissue of a person, the first set of parameter values consisting of:
- glucose concentration,LDL concentration,HDL concentration,triglyceride concentration,creatinine concentration,cholesterol concentration,Hbalc concentration, andCRP concentration,whereby the plurality of biomedical parameter values comprises a second set of parameter values of the person, the second set of data values consisting of;
age,gender,body mass index BMI,waist/hip ratio,blood pressure, andsmoking history.

7. A computer-implemented method for generating a specification of a data structure, the data structure to be used as input for a medical decision support system, the data structure comprising a plurality of biomedical parameters, the method comprising:
-
determining, for a particular population of persons, a first set of diseases, each disease being represented by a data object, whereby each disease belonging to the determined set of diseases has assigned an absolute or relative frequency value within said population, storing each data object representing a disease of the first set of diseases in association with the determined frequency value of the represented disease, sorting the diseases of the first set of disease according to their assigned frequency values, determining a second set of diseases, whereby the second set of diseases is a sub-set of the first set of diseases, the sub-set being created by leaving out all diseases of the first set of diseases which are biomechanical diseases, determining a third set of diseases, the third set of diseases being built by executing the sub-steps; A) determining, for each disease of the second set of diseases, a number of predictive parameters of said disease, B) assigning a score value to each disease, the score value positively correlating with the frequency value of a disease and negatively correlating with the number of parameters correlating with or characterizing said disease, and sorting the diseases of the second set of diseases according to their assigned score values, C) adding a disease of the second set of diseases which has assigned the highest score value and which in addition has not yet been added to the third set of diseases to the third set of diseases, D) calculating a first sum, the first sum being calculated by summing up all frequency values of the diseases having yet being added to the third set of diseases, E) if the first sum is below a coverage threshold value, repeating steps C and D, and if the first sum equals or exceeds said coverage threshold value, continuing with step F and using the third set of diseases and the first sum as result, and F) compiling a plurality of biomedical parameters by determining, for each of the diseases in the third set of diseases, at least one biomedical parameter being indicative of the presence of said disease, whereby the compilation of the biomedical parameters constitutes the specification of the data structure. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A computer readable storage medium having stored therein instructions, which when executed by a computing device cause the computing device to perform a method of generating an access key, the method comprising the steps of:
-
accessing an input value; calculating an asymmetric cryptographic key pair by applying a cryptographic one-way function to the input value, wherein the cryptographic key pair comprises a public key and a private key, wherein the cryptographic one-way function is an injective function; and outputting the public key for providing the access key, and storing a data structure into a database whereby the provided access key is used as database key. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
