Data Sharing Resources

The pharmaceutical industry, health agencies and other organisations support the responsible sharing of patient-level data to facilitate data-driven research which will ultimately lead to improvements in patient care. PSI fully supports data transparency. On this page is listed some of the clinical data platforms.  If you wish to use data to support your research, or if you are a student or teacher who wants to work with real data, please contact the appropriate organisation, as shown below. PSI has no access to clinical data.

If you are aware of other platforms that could be added to this list, please email psi@mci-group.com.
