QResearch

QResearch is a large consolidated UK database derived from the anonymised health records of over 18 million patients.[1]

As of 2016 the data is taken from around 1,000 general practices throughout the UK. Historical records extend back to the early 1990s.

The database is open, with ethical restrictions, to academic researchers. The costs are controlled to allow the scheme to be self-funding while allowing good access to researchers.

QSurveillance

QSurveillance is a near-real-time surveillance scheme to collect, analyse and report on rates of infectious diseases and influenza-related conditions, flu vaccine and pneumococcal vaccine uptake. The UK Health Protection Agency have quoted QSurveillance statistics during the 2009 flu pandemic in the United Kingdom.

gollark: Hmm. I'm sure *someone* must have thought of this at some point. I need a more principled™ way to share data between these modules than global variables.
gollark: Yes, the async thing seems to be related to the unremovable eldritch horrors, but I don't know how.
gollark: RSAPI uses AIOHTTP, which is nice apart from possibly being the cause of the unremovable eldritch horrors in RSAPI.
gollark: I sometimes use JS, but arguably this is worse.
gollark: Due to the great success of ABR's event bus, I'm implementing a vaguely similar thing for entirely unrelated reasons in RSAPI.
