Powering clinical trials research through a secure and integrated data management platform

随着加拿大生活各个领域产生的数据量呈指数级增长，需要新的工具以安全可靠的方式合并和分析这些数据。这可能在生物医学和卫生保健领域最为明显，在这些领域，有利于广泛共享数据的开放科学趋势与维护个人健康信息的隐私和神圣性的需要之间存在天然的紧张关系。为了充分发挥生物医学大数据在推进医学发现方面的潜力，需要新的工具来确保数据能够得到最大程度的利用，同时仍然保护加拿大患者的隐私。

As the quantity of data generated in all sectors of Canadian life continues to grow exponentially, new tools are needed to amalgamate and analyze them in a secure and reliable way. This is perhaps most evident in the fields of biomedicine and health care, where there is a natural tension between trends in open science that favour the widespread sharing of data, and the need to maintain the privacy and sanctity of personal health information. To fully realize the potential of biomedical Big Data to advance discovery in medicine, new tools are needed to ensure that data can be used to the fullest extent possible, while still protecting the privacy of Canadian patients.
