Data Driven Health & Life Sciences: Connect, Share and Reuse
Better health for citizens and patients by reusing health data with an integrated health data infrastructure for research, policy and innovation.
-
Activities
We are building an (intern)national integrated health data research infrastructure, accessible for researchers, citizens and care providers. -
Mission and vision
Our mission: Better health(care) for citizens and patients by reusing health data with an integrated health data infrastructure for research, policy and innovation. -
Approach
Both nationally and internationally, we connect and collaborate with many public and private initiatives that deal with reuse of care and research data. -
About health-RI
Health-RI is the Dutch health care initiative to build an integrated health data infrastructure for research and innovation.
About Health-RI
Health-RI mission is better health(care) for citizens and patients by reusing health data with an integrated health data infrastructure for research, policy and innovation.
If we can predict disease progression and treatment response based on biological factors, we can offer each of us a tailored treatment. We call this personalized medicine. In the same way, we can promote health and prevent disease: personalized health.
Our vision is based on the potential of improved data reuse. By combining data from various sources - such as clinical data and lifestyle data - a deeper understanding of the complexity of disease and health can be achieved. This, in turn, leads to the development of better treatments and products, ultimately improving the health of citizens and patients.

Connecting principles for Consortia
Health-RI has developed “Connection Principles” to help new parties connect to the Dutch national health data infrastructure. These principles provide guidance on how consortia and initiatives can align with the Health-RI infrastructure, in coordination with regional Health-RI nodes. This initiative was taken in response to the recent NWO-call for Research Infrastructures National Consortia.
Working at Health-RI
Projectleaders and data managers are continuously working on new ways to improve collaboration in health research, to share and reuse data. Technical tools and services but also solutions for ethical, legal and societal issues.
Connecting and integrating these projects and collaborations will speed up the development of the Health Data Infrastructure and make for more sustainable open science.
