Department Name: UNLISTED
Abstract
The Digital Innovation Hub Programme aims to enable a UK-wide life sciences ecosystem that provides responsible and safe access to health data, technology and science, research and innovation services to ask and answer important health and care questions. It builds on many recent healthcare technological advances, including in digital health and genomics, and on broader developments in machine learning and artificial intelligence.
The Programme integrates with and reinforces Health Data Research UK’s investment in health data science and talent development, to stimulate the use of health data to make lives longer and healthier. It encompasses three essential functions:
1. UK Health Data Research Alliance – an Alliance of data suppliers committed to making an unprecedented breadth and depth of data available for research and innovation purposes.
2. Health Data Research Hubs – making data available, curating data, and providing expert research services. The Hubs will be centres of expertise to get from data to insight and the location to collaborate and co-create.
3. Health Data Research Innovation Gateway – providing discovery, accessibility, security and interoperability to surface data, support linkage, and enable health data science safely and efficiently.

Technical Summary
The Digital Innovation Hub Programme aims to enable a UK-wide life sciences ecosystem that provides responsible and safe access to health data, technology and science, research and innovation services to ask and answer important health and care questions. It builds on many recent healthcare technological advances, including in digital health and genomics, and on broader developments in machine learning and artificial intelligence.
The Programme integrates with and reinforces Health Data Research UK’s investment in health data science and talent development, to stimulate the use of health data to make lives longer and healthier. It encompasses three essential functions:
A. Health Data Research Innovation Gateway – The major portion of this award, the Health Data Research Innovation Gateway will act as a common portal through which researchers and innovators in academia, industry and the NHS can search for and request access to UK health research data held by members of the Alliance and the Hubs in Trusted Research Environments to provide a safe location for data storage and access. The Gateway will support the use of data, facilitate interoperability, and provide analytical capability. It will take the form of a common web application providing the following functions:
1. The ability to search for available data
2. The facilitation of access requests to multiple data custodians
3. Integration with accredited Trusted Research Environments to provide secure access to linked datasets
4. A library of curated analytics tools and scripts
5. A dashboard to show usage and quality of datasets for research and innovation to provide transparency to data users, data custodians and the public
6. The Gateway will not store or hold health data. Data security is paramount and data will continue to be held by data custodians in Trusted Research Environments
The Gateway will be designed to operate at a national and international scale, and to be scalable as the uses of health data increases. HDR UK works in partnership with NHSX and other NHS bodies to ensure that the Gateway aligns with related NHS endeavours, including the development of clear standards for the use of technology in the NHS.
B. Health Data Research Hubs. The Hubs will be centres of expertise to get from data to insight and the location to collaborate and co-create. The Hubs are formal collaborations between NHS, academic organisations, patients, charities and industry. Each Hub will be set up to demonstrate and drive the utility of expert health data science, based on an area of expertise. This award will support development of the Hubs’ business models.
C. UK Health Data Research Alliance –The Alliance will coordinate identification and adoption of standardised tools, techniques, conventions and technologies to drive greater use of healthcare data for research and innovation in a trustworthy way. The UK Health Data Research Alliance will unite expertise and act as a clearing house for best practice in the stewardship of the UK’s health data – including patient and administrative data from the NHS, genomic data and other molecular data – to enable faster, more efficient access for research at scale. This will speed up progress in science, medicine and healthcare at a pace never achieved before in the UK. This award will support onboarding of that data.

| Title | Cohort Discovery Service |
| Description | Cohort Discovery is a new Gateway feature that will allow users to carry out a more specific search and assessment on datasets listed in the Gateway to improve the discovery of datasets. Using the tool users can search across multiple datasets to find cohorts (groups) of patients with specific, defined characteristics (e.g patients that don't smoke aged between 18-30 and who live in England). We hope the tool will save both researchers time in finding datasets they need for their research, and also save data custodians time, by minimising enquiries to them about the content of the datasets they hold. Statistical disclosure control policies are in place by default by data custodians on the query results, so low numbers of patients will be excluded to minimise any potential risk of identification. |
| Type Of Technology | Webtool/Application |
| Year Produced | 2021 |
| Impact | Nine data custodians have been onboarded into the Cohort Discovery Service which covers a population of 51K subjects.

| Title | Data Use Register & Data Use Widget |
| Description | A data use register (also known as a data release register or list of approved projects) offers the public a clear record of how their data is being used, by who and most importantly for what purpose. The Gateway has implemented a Data Use Register to improve the transparency and visibility of research projects undertaken across our Alliance data custodians. A widget for the data use register is also available and aims to provide further transparency in the use of health data for research by making data uses more accessible. Once embedded in a custodian's website, a clickable button takes visitors from a custodian's webpage to the Gateway data use register - prefiltered to display their data uses only - in a single step. |

It provides detailed information about the datasets, which are held by members of the UK Health Data Research Alliance, such as a description, size of the population, and the legal basis for access. The Gateway includes the ability to search for research projects, publications and health data tools, such as those related to COVID-19. New interactive features provide a community forum for researchers to collaborate and connect and the ability to add research projects. The Innovation Gateway does not hold or store any datasets or patient or health data but rather acts as a portal to allow discovery of datasets and to request access to them for health research. To access the data, users need to sign in and then follow the access request process. |
| Type Of Technology | Webtool/Application |

| Type Of Technology | Webtool/Application |
| Year Produced | 2021 |
| Open Source License? | Yes |
| Impact | When patients interact with physicians, or are admitted into hospital, information is collected electronically on their symptoms, diagnoses, laboratory test results, and prescriptions. This information is stored securely in Electronic Health Records (EHR) and is a valuable resource for researchers and clinicians for improving health and healthcare. EHRs are however of variable detail and quality and contain many inconsistencies. As a result, researchers and data providers spend considerable time creating complex computer programs to fix and statistically analyse the information in EHR and identify which patients have which disease. Currently, there is no means to share these tools across institutions in the UK resulting in duplication of effort. Reproducibility of research is also hampered as others do not have access to the precise methods and definitions used in a particular study. This project addresses these issues by creating an open resource for EHR users (researchers, clinicians, the NHS and data providers) to share their methods. |
