Background

How can we improve the sharing of clinical data to benefit the patient directly and indirectly? That is the question we wanted to answer with the HDR Exemplar Sprint. We took the following approach:

• Make routinely collected clinical data available to researchers, securely and efficiently, while leveraging machine learning models.
• Make routinely collected clinical data and other patient data, e.g. from wearables and sensors, available to clinicians and patients via specialised applications on smartphones and tablets, using the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) and SMART on FHIR standards.
