Abstract
Problem statement: A growing volume and variety of personal health data are being collected by different entities, such as healthcare providers, insurance companies, and wearable device manufacturers. Combining heterogeneous health data offers unprecedented opportunities to augment our understanding of human health and disease. However, a major challenge to research lies in the difficulty of accessing and analyzing health data that are dispersed in their format (e.g. CSV, XML), sources (e.g., medical records, laboratory data), representation (unstructured, structured), and governance (e.g., data collection and maintenance)[2]. Such considerations are crucial when we link and use personal health data across multiple legal entities with different data governance and privacy concerns.
