Health Reference Databases Standard health reference databases including units of measurement, biomarkers, medical codes, medications, side-effects, supplements, foods, ingredients, and more.
The health reference data repository is part of our core module The Unified Health API (UHA), which has the main purpose to provide a single storage and query solution for the analysis of health data.
Reference Database To generate a common language for health data we put all health data references into a single table and call them variables. Pretty much anything quantifying a certain state of a human being could be used as health data and its analysis to find new insights.
The variables are:
Biomarkers (Wearables, Labs, Multiomics) Outcomes Conditions, Symptoms and Diseases Interventions (Medication, Supplements, Therapies) Data from Insurance and Healthcare Nutritional Intake Environment Social and Digital markers Any other health related data Reference database diagram
DB Schema Repository How it works Using The Unified Health API (UHA) imported data points will be mapped to a measurement schema, which pulls the reference information from this reference database to validate measurement values and to tag the data with the common identifiers.
Existing reference databases such as LOINC codes, used in healthcare for lab-tests for example, are pulled in together. Additional information on top of these databases, such as fixed units, synonyms and cross references are necessary for the purpose of more efficient data analysis. These additions are community maintained and version controlled for an ecosystem wide shared use to create seamless interoperability. The magic comes in with completely new entries, where standards are still missing. E.g. new digital biomarkers in development can be easily implemented in an own instance and published as proposal for being added to the commonly used reference.
This storage solution is also applied in applications, where users create their own marker references in a private environment, so that a seamless use of all tools in the infrastructure are still available.
