euCanSHare

The translation of research findings into clinical practice is often impeded by fragmented efforts and lack of information on available data resources.  

The EU-funded euCanSHare project is developing the first centralised and secure platform for data sharing and analysis for cardiovascular research. The platform will integrate major cardiovascular data sources totaling one million records from Europe and Canada. Extensive functionalities will improve access to information and ensure correct data deposition, quality control and harmonisation. The platform will support biomarker validation, knowledge discovery, cardiovascular risk assessment as well as public health research. Ultimately, the euCanSHare platform will accelerate data-driven research efforts for personalised medicine in cardiology. 

Thus, the euCanSHare initiative stands as a transcontinental collaboration to improve data-driven cardiovascular research.
