Broadening the Scope

We are enabling patient-centred healthcare by making new data sources available. In this stream we seek to:

  • Determine the value of disparate data sources to healthcare provision and health outcomes.
  • Develop metrics for quantifying the quality of healthcare data for use in medical decision support.
  • View our projects in this theme below.
