Key findings

Introduces Neurobagel, a federated network for cohort discovery across locally governed, access-controlled datasets: graphical tools plus a decentralized query infrastructure let researchers harmonize and discover data under local privacy regulations, now deployed by consortia and platforms across four continents.

Abstract

Source: publisher

International data privacy regulations impede the pooling of research data for collaborative analysis. We introduce Neurobagel, a federated network enabling cohort discovery across locally governed, access-controlled datasets. Through intuitive graphical tools and a decentralized query infrastructure, Neurobagel facilitates harmonization, control, and discovery of data according to local regulations. Today, Neurobagel is deployed by consortia and data platforms in Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia, supporting diverse and evolving regulatory frameworks.
