Swiss Personalized Health Network Cohort Consortium
Switzerland can rely on a number of high quality prospective cohort studies ranging from population-based to nation-wide patient-based studies, some of which span decades. Following the increasing demand for the implementation of collaborative environments, the Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN) initiative is developing a harmonized cohort strategy to bring Swiss cohorts forward on both the national and international level. The strategy will promote the enhancement of findability and accessibility of national cohorts, improve research quality and foster the establishment of international collaborations.
SPHN is a national initiative under the leadership of the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences (SAMS), in collaboration with the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics. It contributes to the development, implementation and validation of coordinated data infrastructures in order to make health-relevant data interoperable and shareable for research in Switzerland.
