Digitised Diseases是一个主要的基于网络的慢性疾病3D资源，这些疾病表现为人类骨骼的变化。该资源是通过联合监委会、布拉德福德大学和布拉德福德可视化的资金建立的。多学科团队，包括项目合作伙伴MOLA（伦敦考古博物馆）和英国皇家外科医学院，在伦敦和约克的布拉德福德大学开展了一项大规模数字化病理标本的计划，这些标本来自世界著名的考古，历史和医学收藏。我们继续通过摄取新内容来增加这一资源。该资源一直被设想为需要吸引不同的用户群体，不仅在学术和临床受益者中产生影响，而且还丰富了过去对公共卫生的更广泛的理解。从一开始，我们的重点是确保数字化的古病理学样本在更广泛的临床背景下得到代表和理解。我们希望强调在现代疗法出现之前的时代，疾病和残疾对生活的影响，以及鉴于许多这些疾病的寿命，在社会层面上需要提供与健康相关的护理的重要性。
Digitised Diseases is a major web-based 3D resource of chronic disease conditions that manifest change to the human skeleton. The resource was established through funds from Jisc, the University of Bradford and Bradford Visualisation. The multi-disciplinary team, involving project partners MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology) and the Royal College of Surgeons of England, undertook a programme of mass digitisation of pathological type specimens from world-renowned archaeological, historic and medical collections at the University of Bradford, in London and York. We continue to augment this resource through ingestion of new content. The resource was always envisaged as needing to appeal to a diverse user community, having impact not just among academic and clinical beneficiaries, but also enriching the wider understanding of public health in the past. From the outset, our focus was on making sure that the digitised palaeopathological exemplars were represented and understood within a broader clinical context. We wanted to emphasise the impact of living with disease and disability in an era before modern therapies were available, and the significance of the health-related care provision that would have been required at a societal level in view of the longevity of many of these conditions.
