The Benefits of a Data Sharing Tool
A data sharing platform is an application that lets real-time data exchange across various systems. These platforms provide scalability along with security and governance, and ease of use for users who aren’t technically minded. These platforms are not intended to be static, as are traditional single-box solutions. They are designed to enable real-time data sharing. This includes multiple consumers, producers and clouds and divisions and companies. It also provides high data throughput rates and bidirectional data flow.
In medical settings this involves sharing unidentified patient records with other clinicians and researchers. This allows collaboration on research projects to accelerate the development of new medical treatments and improve treatment. This enables quicker second opinions and helps the patient decide on the best treatment options.
Data sharing also helps research to be more efficient. Researchers can pool resources and information to avoid duplication of efforts and also perform a larger analyses of trends across a larger geographical or topical area. It can also reduce the need for monetary investment in new infrastructure, allowing researchers to leverage existing data sources.
In a final public sector instance, Airbnb recently shared anonymized host information with New York City to help solve the issue of illegal short-term rentals. This shows how data sharing can benefit both the public and private sector.
