Cohort Discovery: Requirements Gathering- 03/03/21 4-4.30pm

Cohort discovery allows researchers to find datasets by searching for the characteristics of people in the dataset instead of keywords. For instance, I could search for females aged 25-65 who have skin cancer. This would return 1 or more datasets on the Gateway which contain data matching this description.

In this session we will give a quick demo of the current cohort discovery and discuss next steps for improvement.

This feature is provided through an integration with a third-party tool (BCP). The challenge is to provide a streamlined experience, considering the limitations of the third-party tool.

Discussion points include:

• Upgrading the look-and-feel of BCP to match the Innovation Gateway

• Signposting Cohort Discovery so it’s easy to find

• Saving cohorts

• Requesting access to datasets
