US firm proposes UK health data framework to boost research

Framework would allow researchers to access data in a “transparent and trusted way”, says Palantir

A data firm in the United States has proposed a framework for managing health data in the UK, after identifying “significant barriers” to research in the existing system.

According to Palantir, which was awarded tens of millions in contracts from the UK government during the Covid-19 pandemic, the UK is “well placed to become the standard bearer for data-driven health research and innovation”.
