This consortium consists of health-care institutions in limited-resource settings that are leveraging the i2b2 platform for facilitating the use of EHR data for clinical research, hospital operations and education. Currently the consortium includes sites from India and Nepal and is seeking to expand to other regions. This collaboration is to developed a resilient and cost-effective software stack suited for deployment in the low-resource setting.

Grant to the Foundation from Dell Technologies: Year 3
We thrilled to be supported by Dell Technology to support the development of the Personalized Digital Medical Twin, which is created by collecting real world healthcare data, carefully filtered to match what a patient would consider their true condition through explainable AI. Attend our September 21-22 symposium in Boston to learn more.
Stay tuned for a new i2b2 release this summer!
We are excited to announce a new i2b2 release that will include a brand-new User Interface with a new plug-in architecture, as well as better integration with OMOP (plus other new features). Take a peek at the new UI HERE
