Hospital Authority Remote Data Access

Overview

The Self-service Data Platform is launched to provide high-quality sample data and an advanced analytics platform for researchers to draft hypotheses and proposals for health big data research.

In response to researchers’ demand for more convenient access, remote access to the Platform has been established to enhance data accessibility. The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) is authorized to have remote access to the Self-service Data Platform. Located in InnoPort, the remote centre is now officially open to access for CUHK researchers of all disciplines. Users must adhere to the security policy, rules and regulations set out by HADCL and The Office of Research and Knowledge Transfer Services (ORKTS).
