Making health data ready for research
Data4Life is a nonprofit organization working towards its vision of a world where health data is comprehensively, digitally, and securely available for research and directly impacts the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. At Data4Life’s locations in Potsdam, Berlin and Singapore, the international team aims to turn this vision into reality.
In collaboration with leading public health institutions, esteemed medical experts, and renowned research facilities throughout the world, Data4Life’s specific goal is to digitalize health research.
Data privacy and data security are always prioritized.
Currently, Data4Life is working on two core projects:
Project AIR.MS
In collaboration with the Hasso Plattner Institute for Digital Health at Mount Sinai (HPI.MS), Data4Life is developing the AI-enabled multimodal health data platform “AI-Ready Mount Sinai” (AIR.MS), which connects patient data, previously highly isolated and often difficult to access, from different clinical departments at Mount Sinai Hospital.
Project SensorHub
Together with the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI), Data4Life is developing a platform that enables the design and implementation of health studies involving sensors, wearables, and patient reported outcomes (PROs). In the future, scientists will be able to enrich their health research with multimodal data via the platform and thus gain new, valuable insights.
A complete overview of current and past activities can be found on Data4Life’s website.
