Steps to access and work with the data
1. Register
Register to the Smart4Health Research platform with your institutional Email-address to get access to the dashboard.
2. View Meta Data
On the dashboard, you can query the metadata and available cohorts.
3. Apply for access
You need to fill the Data Access Request with required information. For Access conditions read here. Among others, you need to be resident in the EU and provide a positive ethics votum of your home institution.
You will receive a confirmation e-mail with expected processing time.
4. Wait for approval of your application
Our Data Access Committee reviews your application request following the Data Sharing Policy and the Research Consent. The Committee informs you on its decision regarding your access (accept or deny) or might request additional information. At approval, it defines what subset of data and what conditions apply to your request.
5. Sign the Data Access Agreement
Also, you and your institution need to read and sign the Data Access Agreement. This can be done while waiting on the approval, but does not influence the decision of the Committee.
6. Work with the data
Right after approval, you get access to the data and the ready-to-use interactive computing environment on the Smart4Health Research Platform. You can immediatly start using Jupyter Notebooks, which enable the usage of the Python language. A Python-based query interface is provided which makes it possible to build analysis-ready cohorts directly from within the Jupyter notebook.
Data Access Conditions
The so-called Smart4Health Data Access Committee is responsible for granting (or denying) external requestors (researchers) access to data. The decision is based on your consent, the Smart4Health Data Sharing Policy, and an ethics approval of the research project obtained and presented by the researcher.
