OHDSI is a global, multi-stakeholder, interdisciplinary and open-science network that collaborates to bring out the value of health data through large-scale analytics. Our Asia-Pacific (APAC) community comprises six regional chapters (Australia, China, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan) and has led important OHDSI initiatives around the world.
The first OHDSI APAC Symposium was held virtually Dec. 5-6, 2020, and it provided an opportunity for our Asia-Pacific collaborators (along with others around the world) to share research, provide community updates, collaborate in regional breakouts or network discussions, and have some OHDSI fun.
The APAC community has its own group in the OHDSI MS Teams environment to promote greater collaboration on our collaborative efforts. It will also be the home of our bi-weekly APAC Community Calls, where we will provide updates, share research presentations, collaborate on topics of shared interest, and plenty more. How can you get involved? First, request access to our MS Teams Environment, then request access to our OHDSI APAC workgroup. You can also join the meetings by using this direct link.
Our calls are scheduled on a bi-weekly basis, held every other Thursday/Wednesday depending on where you live. All calls are recorded, so if you miss one or want to share with a collaborator, check out the call recordings below.
