Center for Data to Health

The volume of complex and fragmented health data is ever increasing. These data have the potential to revolutionize healthcare, but are difficult to access, share, and use. The National Center for Data to Health (CD2H) strives to build an infrastructure to unite these data into an ecosystem that enables innovative new analytics and promotes effective collaboration among researchers and clinicians. University of Rochester researchers can collaborate with peers and access tools and data through CD2H.

Learn how you can engage CD2H.
