HIC impact case studies

At the Health Informatics Centre (HIC), we support research through secure, high-quality services. Our work helps drive innovation in healthcare, improves public health, and inform policy.
These Impact Case Studies highlight the benefits of our collaborations with researchers, healthcare providers, and industry partners. They show how HIC’s expertise in secure data linkage and access, infrastructure and software development has supported important discoveries and practical improvements in health and care.
