Mission
The mission of the Health Data Science group is to produce clinically actionable insights from observational health data by enabling data-driven healthcare. Improved interoperability of data is a necessary pre-requisite for this mission.
We perform methodological research in clinical characterisation, population-level effect estimation, and prediction modelling. We develop open-source analytical tools that can be applied on the OMOP Common Data Model.
