iCARE both enables and delivers data-driven research that transforms health data into insights and innovations that improve patient care.

Through our Secure Data Environment (SDE), we provide researchers with secure access to linked health data, supporting research across the NHS, academia and industry.

Alongside this, our expert research and analytics team specialises in translational research - developing, evaluating and applying new approaches in data science, artificial intelligence and advanced analytics to address real-world healthcare challenges.

Working with rich health data from one of the UK's most diverse populations, iCARE delivers research that is representative, impactful and relevant to the communities of North West London and beyond.
