2nd Brown Bag Lunch

Last week, the Research Data Service Center (RDSC) of UniSpital Zürich (USZ) hosted the 2^nd event of our jointly conducted series of Brown Bag Lunches.

Patrick Hirschi, Data Engineer at the RDSC, gave a presentation about the teams Data Platform development. He explained the current status of the Data Warehouse, which hosts existing and newly generated clinical data into a state-of-the-art database system. This enables us and our colleagues to work on the latest datasets, in the near future even in real-time, thus accelerating research in personalized medicine.

The members of the RDSC also commented on their joint effort to integrate the USZ into Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN) . The latter is a national initiative to combine medical data of all Swiss university hospitals in a secure and standardized manner.

We are very happy to see this progression towards integrated data platforms enabling new research opportunities and better digital health care services!
