i2b2The solution
i2b2 (Informatics for Integrating Biology and the Bedside) it’s an open-source software developed by the US research center “i2b2” in Boston and initially funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH).
The platform allows to create data-warehouse systems integrating clinical and research data to build patients cohorts and perform analyses. The development of the platform is leaded by the i2b2 tranSMART Foundation and is supported by a large international academic community. i2b2 is deployed in more than 250 clinical centers for research purposes to manage data from more than 300 million patients.
