Platform Services


Prezi for Research IT services:


Neuroinformatics Platform
Data Management Services

Data Integration

Our team integrates data from REDCap, XNAT, Labkey, Wearable devices, and also our EHR system (I-Care) into a single data warehouse to serve analytical use-cases.  The data is harmonized using HL7 FHIR and NIDM; additional metadata is captured using DATS.  Data in the warehouse is refreshed daily.

REDCap

REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) is a secure, web-based application designed exclusively to support data capture for research studies.  Our team provides REDCap consultation on project design and data management optimization, ensuring efficient data collection workflows and high quality data. Our services also encompass user training and technical support, helping users to effectively navigate REDCap’s features and leverage its full potential for research and data collection.

XNAT

XNAT is the data sharing platform leveraged at the KCNI for imaging informatics.  We assist you in the journey of your data from collection to dissemination.  Many data uploads are already in place at KCNI, but we can help in setting up new automated uploads for new studies or novel datatypes.  We de-identify your data and can customize the de-identification to fit your REB and data sharing needs.  Additionally, we have many preprocessing pipelines in place already -- NIfTI conversion, BIDS conversion, Freesurfer, fmriprep, mriqc, MARA, RELAX -- and are always excited to work with you to add your pipeline to the platform.  These pipelines can be set-up to run automatically, be user driven, or a combination of the two.

Labkey

LabKey is a web-based centralized repository with standardized data collections fields for sample inventory and lab-related experimental data.  Our team provides project onboarding for studies, assay integration, design of custom data entry forms and queries for quality control metrics.  We provide end user training and technical support to help users leverage the functionalities of LabKey and to help with data collection.

Wearables

Wearable Operations (WearOps) helps researchers with using wearable devices by providing device rentals and/or acquisition, device usage training, data management services (ingestion and storage) and compliance analyses.

Visualization

Our team provides dashboard development and consulting services for research teams.  Every study is provided with a default dashboard that gives teams summary statistics about their study.  Teams can also purchase services to create customized dashboards that includes on-going maintenance.  KCNI uses Tableau and Apache Superset as the visualization tool.

Analysis

The platform provides users with tools and compute resources to perform data analysis.  From data science tools like RStudio, Jupyter Notebook, and Spark to Visualization tools like Tableau and Superset.

Data Analytics

The platform provides users with visualization, data analysis, and machine learning tools and capabilities.

MLOps


Machine Learning Operations develops ML/AI-enabled use cases for both researchers and clinicians alike across CAMH. We directly help with all stages of the machine learning lifecycle, including data analysis, model development and deployment, and monitoring
Data Sharing

The BrainHealth Databank (BHDB) provides a secure platform for researchers to share their data with the CAMH and beyond to support Open Science principles while safeguarding privacy. Researchers can request datasets from the BHDB Portal to perform secondary research. CAMH Researchers can additionally request for customized datasets created from BHDB data.
