This repository documents the implementation of a reproducible workflow for testing and building a research platform integrating health, climate, and social determinants of health (SDoH) data. The project leverages schemas from schema.org to ensure structured metadata and applies FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) to all aspects of the work.
-
Test OHDSI GIS Extension
Evaluate the OHDSI GIS extension to integrate climate data and SDoH with clinical and population health data within the OMOP Common Data Model (CDM). Here is the first version of a Logic Model to map HDSS to OMOP. -
Evaluate OHDSI Containers
Assess the new set of OHDSI containers, including:- Support for the GIS extension.
- Integration of new vocabularies developed by the OHDSI GIS Working Group, particularly vocabularies focused on the exposome (environmental exposures over a person’s lifetime).
-
Apply FAIR Principles
Ensure the platform and workflows adhere to FAIR principles to enhance the usability and accessibility of the data and methods.
-
Network of Containers:
Build a modular system of containers to streamline deployment and integration of the research platform. This includes:- Clinical and population health data processing in OMOP CDM.
- GIS-enabled functionalities to link spatial data (e.g., climate and SDoH).
-
Exposome Vocabularies:
Use new OHDSI vocabularies tailored to describe environmental exposures and their interactions with health data. -
Platform Interoperability:
Use schema.org to structure metadata, ensuring seamless integration and compatibility with external systems and datasets.
