The revamp of the HIRA Big Data Open Portal was carried out with a focus on enhancing user convenience, strengthening support for big data research and analysis, and adding new services in response to the growing interest and demand for big data.

In terms of improving user convenience, the following enhancements were made: ▲application of responsive web technology optimized for various devices such as PCs, tablets, and smartphones ▲addition of shortcut menus for frequently used features ▲improved speed for querying medical statistics of public interest.

The services provided, including customized research analysis, were significantly improved by incorporating feedback from users. ▲Users can easily select analysis data ▲quickly check research project progress and receive feedback ▲and pay remote analysis and analysis center usage fees by card.

Additionally, the data linkage service, which was previously provided only in written and offline formats, is now also available online. Since HIRA was designated as a specialized data linkage institution in the healthcare sector in 2020, data linkage services had been provided offline and in writing; however, with this revamp, all procedures including data linkage application, de-identification processing, review, and use of the linkage center can now be conducted electronically and online.

Oh Soo-seok, HIRA’s Executive Director of Planning, said, “We hope that this revamp of the HIRA Big Data Open Portal will enhance accessibility to the big data we hold, promote related research and service development, and serve as an opportunity to further contribute to the improvement of public health and the advancement of the industry.”
