End-to-End Flow
1
Analyze
Approved datasets in secure environment
2
Review & Validate
Disclosure, statistical and methodological review
3
Generate Results

4
Share & Publish
Authorized data/report/regulatory output
5
Real-World Impact
Evidence, policy, planning and innovation
Output Types
Aggregated Statistics
Counts, rates, trends and effect estimates.
Cohort Characteristics
Approved aggregate demographics and clinical features.
Study Reports
Tables, figures and validated reports.
Regulatory Submissions
Approved CDISC or authority packages.
Approved Datasets
Pseudonymized datasets only when explicitly authorized.
Scientific Publications
Manuscripts, posters and presentations after disclosure review.
MQL Example
mqlCopy
# Conceptual FUTURE MQL aggregate output
FIND Patient WITHIN cohort "t2d-v1"
ANALYZE BY age_group
METRICS count(), mean(HbA1c)
OUTPUT aggregateMQL is future/planned; syntax remains conceptual.
FHIR Bulk Data Example
httpCopy
# Authorized bulk export pattern — capability/profile dependent
GET /fhir/$export?_type=Patient,Condition,Observation&_outputFormat=application/fhir+ndjson
Authorization: Bearer <research-scoped-token>Bulk export must be tied to approved scope and output policy. Never expose unrestricted production export.
Sharing Example
httpCopy
# Illustrative governed research report submission
POST /v1/research/reports
Authorization: Bearer <token>
{
"studyId":"study_2026_001",
"reportType":"regulatory_submission",
"destination":"authorized-health-authority"
}Illustrative route; sharing destinations, agreements and output controls are governance-dependent.
