Synthetic Data Bridge

Modern AI/ML, empowered by the digitization of medicine and computing breakthroughs, has the potential to significantly boost health equity through appropriate design and use. However, EHR data is difficult to get access to, due to privacy and other legal concerns. Even when EHR data is available AI/ML methods often need very large data sets to train on. Synthetic versions that mimic the statistical distributions of the original data can help provide a larger set and/or be used to balance sets that have some common biases like insufficient numbers of females or members of a particular racial/ethnic group in the training data.

The Synthetic Data Bridge is providing synthetic versions of selected MedStar Health’s curated data sets in the AIM-AHEAD Data Bridge. Synthetic data is available to AIM-AHEAD consortium members who agree to follow MedStar’s Terms of Use. Synthetic data sets are produced by ICBI using Gretel.ai software and synthetic data models. A data dictionary is provided.
