MIDRC and ARPA-H.
Last updated January 4, 2024
The ARPA-H BDF (biomedical data fabric) toolbox is an initiative to develop technologies for an easily deployable, multi-modal, multi-scale, connected data ecosystem for biomedical data. ARPA-H is enlisting multiple performers who are experts in their fields to build components of the ARPA-H BDF Toolbox and MIDRC was selected to provide domain expertise and data commons technology development in medical imaging.
MIDRC's expertise stems from developing a data commons in which contributed imaging data are harmonized and vetted by clinical, artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML), and medical imaging & data science domain experts from the collaborative communities of AAPM, ACR, RSNA, and Gen3. The public open data commons was created “at scale” and is interoperable with other data commons to enable multi-modal, multi-omics research as well as rigorous statistical evaluations.
MIDRC’s involvement in the ARPA-H BDF Toolbox will include development and deployment of medical imaging data commons architectures and resources to support various diseases and applications for the toolbox. Check out programs funded by ARPA-H and stay tuned on what's to come!
