New Data Sources

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.

Vital Sign Monitoring and Decision Support System

During admission to hospital, patients often show signs of acute physical deterioration before a serious event occurs. Current variation in vital signs charts, early warning scores, skills and knowledge of responders and availability of responders in hospitals means these patients ...

Integrating Primary and Secondary Healthcare Systems

Data from primary and secondary care has the potential to enhance the accuracy of decision making in healthcare. However, due to the fragmented nature of the health system, this information is often siloed, making it difficult for clinicians to access ...

Making Existing Data Sources Available

New Zealand has excellent health data due to national ID number and high quality data scientists. We seek to link them together by making health data easier to access for research. We have reviewed publicly available health datasets in New Zealand ...
