To make it easier for scientists working in research consortia, academia, and industry to do their jobs, the Data, Tools and Platform team builds the Sage Data Platform, a collection of scalable and portable technologies that facilitate data, onboarding, validation, harmonization, sharing, exploration, and distributed analysis in cloud computing environments. The Sage Data Platform consists of a continuously evolving and expanding set of components that are designed and adapted to meet the needs of our projects, and to allow Sage to expand the scope of supported research over time.
The Web, Mobile, and Data development teams also develop more targeted scientific applications ranging from supporting distribution and reuse of complex biomedical data to helping patients better track their condition. Applications developed at Sage leverage an open API to the Sage Data Platform. This approach provides a foundation for secure and ethical handling of sensitive biomedical research data that is fully compliant with regulations such as HIPAA, GDPR, and 21CFR Part 11.
In addition to the following Platforms, Sage also develops Data Distribution Portals which provide web interfaces for research consortia to exchange curated data and other digital resources among themselves, and with the broader research community. Learn more about our Portals here.
Platforms
