DPUK Data Portal
The DPUK Data Portal is a world-class repository and analysis environment for dementia-optimised cohort data. Free to use, it gives researchers anywhere in the world access to high-quality, multi-modal data from more than 50 population and clinical cohort studies, comprising records for over 3.5 million people.
Researchers can identify which cohorts are relevant to their proposed research question or area of study, apply for access to the data, and then analyse it in a secure, remote environment complete with data linkage, analytical software packages, and cross-cohort capability.
The vision is simple: to optimise access to the UK's rich heritage of health data collection, powering it with state-of-the-art technology to take on the challenge of finding ways to prevent and treat dementia.
