We make data ready for research to build a healthier world.
Nonprofit. Digital. Secure.
Welcome to Data4Life
Nonprofit
We are nonprofit!
Founded by the Hasso-Plattner-Foundation all our activities exclusively and directly pursue philanthropic goals.
For us, that means:
Digitize public health
Accelerate personalized medicine
Staying purpose-driven and nonprofit
Digital
We are digitizing health research.
Step counts in the smartwatch, sleep paterns tracked per app, vital signs monitored by a doctor - every day more and more health data is being generated as we go about our daily lives. But the potential of this data is not being fully utilized. We're here to change that. Together with our partners, we're working to make health data ready for research.
In doing so, we can play a significant part in improving the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. For the benefit of all.
Secure
Data is secure with us.
As a nonprofit organization, we handle health data ethically, compliant and responsibly. Data needs to be comprehensive, digital, and secure. We work with renowned partners to make data interoperably accessible for research.
