ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

The German Central Health Study Hub is a service that was initially developed at short notice during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, it has been expanded in scope, content, active users and functionality. The service is aimed at two main audiences data provider and data consumers. The former want to share research data from clinical, public health and epidemiological studies and related documents according to the FAIR criteria for research data, and the latter want to find and ultimately reuse relevant research data in the above areas.

METHODS:

The service connects both groups via graphical and programmatic interfaces. A sophisticated information model is employed to describe and publish various research data objects while obeying data protection and fulfilling FAIR requirements. The service is being developed in a demand-driven manner with extensive user interaction.

RESULTS:

A free-to-use service, built on open-source software (Dataverse, MICA, Keycloak), accessible via a web-browser. In close collaboration with users several features (ranging from collection to group items to combined data capture via API and UI) were created. The adoption of the service increases continuously and results in over 1,970 research data objects in June 2024.

CONCLUSION:

The service fills a marked gap and connects both user groups, yet it still needs to be improved in various dimensions (features, content, usage). The impact on the community needs to be further assessed. Despite recent legislative changes (GDNG, EHDS), the system improves the findability of sensitive data, provides a blueprint for similar systems and shows how to create a useful and user-friendly service together with users.
