EpiScientia Data Portal
A federated, privacy-preserving data infrastructure enabling secure analytics across NPHIs without centralizing sensitive patient-level data. Built on OMOP CDM for semantic interoperability.
Federated Architecture
Designed to preserve data sovereignty and ensure privacy across all participating institutions
Data remains at source institutions while enabling collaborative analytics across the network.
Common Data Model ensuring semantic and structural interoperability across diverse health datasets.
Automated extract-transform-load processes using open-source tools for data harmonisation.
GDPR-aligned protocols ensuring sensitive patient data never leaves source institutions.
