In genomics, most were created to collect data for researchers, but many genomic databases are now used in health care. Some databases, such as cancer registries, were established for public health surveillance, but are highly useful for both research and clinical care. Testing laboratories are a direct source of many data — for example, genomic testing laboratories, clinical laboratories, and imaging facilities. Moreover, as medical records are increasingly digitized, unstructured data are being transformed into forms that enable analysis of health outcomes and for other purposes. Also, many efforts are underway to integrate social determinants of health, genomic, imaging and laboratory data into electronic health records. The users of data include scientists hoping to understand biology or disease, but also health professionals helping individuals make decisions about health care interventions, counseling them about the meaning of data. Increasingly, individuals are using health and genomic data themselves.CrossRefGoogle Scholar
