SAHRA

In the German healthcare system, a great deal of data has been collected, but so far it hasn’t been used sufficiently to research and improve patient care.
The project "SAHRA – Smart Analysis – Health Research Access" aims to make it possible to combine billing, treatment, study and registry data in accordance with privacy legislation, and to make it available to health care research and authorised care providers.

For this, a representative sample of comprehensive care data from medical practices will be combined with other health care system data sources via a highly secure, web-based analysis platform. This will then be analysable with scientific methods by using the most modern memory technology and be made available in compliance with the law.

Data in the health sector is particularly sensitive. Patients therefore enjoy a high level of social data privacy. Therefore, a major focus of the SAHRA project is the strict adherence to data protection legislation, the technical, legal and organisational implementation of data privacy and the protection of business secrets.
