Research Data

We are the data powerhouse for U-M researchers needing deidentified health data.

We have health data from over 5 million patients. Accessing this deidentified data is easy! Check out the DataDirect web Interface or request access to our deidentified Research Data Warehouse (deidentified RDW) to access and query the database tables directly. Click the “Request Data Consult” button above and we’ll help you get started!

For more information, please contact Cinzia Smothers, Director of our Data Solutions and Research Implementation Teams.

Researcher who uses Michigan deidentified research data

“The research data available through AI & Digital Health Innovation, particularly the linkage between EHR and genetic data data, have allowed me to dive into research questions of great interest with a dizzying array of measures available. As an early career investigator, I look forward to continuing to utilize many aspects of the AI & Digital Health Innovation infrastructure as I develop my research program!”
