Health-RI

Connecting health resources for personalized health solutions

The aim of Health-RI is to accelerate the development of personalized medicine and health solutions by connecting research data infrastructures. Studying and integrating highly diverse collections of longitudinal biomedical data, generated at different hospitals and research centers in the Netherlands, are required to empower researchers in developing more effective personalized health solutions. These data collections are often fragmented and hard to find. Therefore, Health-RI wants to unlock and interconnect the different biomedical sources available.

About Health-RI

Health-RI is an innovative and integrated research infrastructure initiated by BBMRI-NLELIXIR-NLEATRIS-NL, NFUDTL, Lygature, and Health~Holland. This research infrastructure is initiated to connect the existing biomedical research infrastructures in the Netherlands. The ultimate aim of Health-RI is to function as a one-stop-shop for researchers in the personalized health domain and beyond. Health-RI will interconnect biobanks, medical imaging and data collections allowing for mining and linking, and will provide access to facilities and IT solutions. Besides sharing and connecting resources, Health-RI will support research projects with tools as ethical and legal services, methodologies, data management training, protocols and best practices. To ensure the quality and effectiveness of the infrastructure, all resources must be FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). By creating the interconnected national Health-RI infrastructure, tools and resources will be at researchers’ fingertips to faster develop novel personalized medicine and health solutions. Visit the Health-RI website for more information about the project.

    All parties involved in our national health data infrastructure for research and innovation are cordially invited to join us at the meeting.  We hope to meet everyone again ‘live in Utrecht’.

  • Groeifonds investeert in Health-RI-voorstel voor gezondheidsdata-infrastructuur

    Het kabinet heeft besloten om het voorstel van Health-RI voor een nationale gezondheidsdata-infrastructuur te honoreren. Met de investering van 68,5 miljoen euro uit het Nationaal Groeifonds kan Health-RI snel de volgende stappen zetten om gezondheidsdata beter toegankelijk te maken voor gezondheidsonderzoek en -innovatie. Dat is goed nieuws voor het gezondheidsonderzoek, de gezondheidszorg, de Nederlandse economie en de Nederlandse burger.

    Health-RI partner in ABOARD to stop Alzheimer’s

    A collaboration of more than thirty partners launched a personalized medicine approach for Alzheimer’s disease. The project called ABOARD aims to prepare for a future in which Alzheimer’s disease is stopped before dementia has started. ABOARD achieves this by improving diagnostic markers, developing personalised risk scores and by focusing on prevention through increased awareness of dementia and brain health. Health-RI is partner in ABOARD.
