Open Source Software Developer Report

Intel partnered with LF Research once again this year, this time to study what developers need to advance their careers. Our new report reveals that learning new skills and connecting with other developers, especially at in-person events, is a top priority.

An Open Architecture for Health Data Interoperability

Download Report
No matter how you engage in your healthcare system – as patient, provider, researcher, administrator, IT manager – you will almost always experience issues with the exchange and portability of data. Recognizing the way that open source has increased interoperability in other sectors, LF Research decided to study how and where open source has been applied in health data management, and what role it plays in increasing health data portability. 
 
This qualitative report reviews the unique characteristics of the healthcare sector, the lack of interoperability between its data systems, and how generative AI represents a catalyzing opportunity to address these issues. The author discusses the (mis)perceptions of open source and how it could benefit the sector, concluding with a recommendation to develop an architecture of standards and technologies to increase innovation and data sharing.
