Data Harmony Webinar

14 September 2023

Join our upcoming webinar - Data Harmony. Bringing together thought leaders to discuss the impact on science and, ultimately patient health benefits, of non-standardised data in research, and the solutions to overcoming these.

Health data provides exceptional opportunities for research and innovation. However, the transformative potential of data is far from being realised with the World Economic Forum estimating that 97% of hospital data is unused. To increase the utility of health data, standardised approaches to describing, categorising and curating data are critical in enabling researchers to query global data resources more quickly and efficiently.
