Health Data Research UK
We are uniting the UK’s health data to make discoveries that improve people’s lives.
By making health data available to researchers and innovators we can better understand diseases and find ways to prevent, treat and cure them.
What is health data science?
Health data science combines maths, statistics and technology to study different types of health problems using data. It helps us to better understand diseases and conditions and can provide new ways of treating them or spotting them earlier
National Science Projects
Three UK-wide research projects led by teams of researchers, scientists and technologists are creating the tools needed to tackle some of the UK’s biggest health challenges including stroke, lung cancer, mental illness and multi-morbidity.
One Institute Strategy
Our ‘One Institute’ strategy sets out our vision for the next 20 years – for large scale data and advanced analytics to benefit every patient interaction, clinical trial, biomedical discovery and enhance public health – our five year ambitions and plans for 2019/20.
