Background And Objectives: Data curation is a tedious task but of paramount relevance for data analytics and more specially in the health context where data-driven decisions must be extremely accurate. The ambition of TAQIH is to support non-technical users on 1) the exploratory data analysis (EDA) process of tabular health data, and 2) the assessment and improvement of its quality.
Methods: A web-based tool has been implemented with a simple yet powerful visual interface.
