The Biomedical Research Hub: a federated platform for patient research data.

Objective: The objective was to develop and operate a cloud-based federated system for managing, analyzing, and sharing patient data for research purposes, while allowing each resource sharing patient data to operate their component based upon their own governance rules. The federated system is called the Biomedical Research Hub (BRH).

Materials And Methods: The BRH is a cloud-based federated system built over a core set of software services called framework services.
