121 Data Sharing and Usage | Setting the Scene

As we check in with an overview of this module, let’s set the stage for how you will tackle this section of the course. To enhance your potential research discovery, you may want to conduct a study that entails the collection and use of personal health information. This study will hopefully lead to a publication or the development of a technology that might be commercialized – such as an algorithm using AI to predict how a research discovery could impact industry. In this example, before you undertake this type of study, it would be important to ensure a strong familiarity of the concepts associated with data, together with an understanding of the laws, regulations and intellectual property considerations that may come into play.
