Global.health is the first of its kind, easy-to-use global data repository and visualization platform that enables open access to real-time epidemiological anonymized line list data. This platform was developed by researchers from leading institutions around the world including Oxford, Harvard, Northeastern, Boston Children's Hospital, Georgetown, University of Washington, and Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security.Global.health is made possible by funding support from Google.org, The Rockefeller Foundation, and the Oxford Martin School.MissionOur mission is to enable rapid sharing of trusted and open public health data to advance the response to infectious diseases.Who We AreGlobal.health is a collaborative effort by technologists and researchers from leading international institutions to build a trusted, detailed, and accurate resource of real-time infectious disease data.As research becomes increasingly data-driven, our understanding of the world around us is only as accurate as the data we have available. We believe in equitable health research that serves communities of all backgrounds. This is why we built Global.health – a platform that brings together outbreak data from diverse communities and makes it available to all, regardless of geographic location or organizational affiliation.What We DoBy creating a centralized open resource of verified case-level data from around the world, our aim is to accelerate the work of researchers, public health officials, and the global community to better prepare for, respond to, and reduce the burden of disease outbreaks. We hope that this work will help cultivate a global community invested in improving health outcomes for all through open and secure data sharing.
