Welcome to the Seedcase Project
A framework for an open and scalable infrastructure for health data
The Seedcase Project is a value-driven initiative focused on open science and open-source software. We believe that developing open-source software and offering researchers training in technical skills and knowledge can improve health and well-being research. This includes tasks related to building, managing, and sharing health data.
Our goals
The Seedcase Project is more than software, it is also about education, training, and the code itself.
Develop open-source software for health data
Software that is open-source and targeted to diverse users, like health research organizations and small-to-medium sized companies.
Create training material and run workshops
Specifically training on technical skills such as software and data engineering, while following open scientific practices.
Build and nurture an inclusive community
A community that is open and inclusive that shares knowledge, learnings, and better practices in research data engineering and software engineering.
Lead by example
By building this project as fully open as possible and applying the same principles we teach and advocate for.
Software products
Even though Seedcase Project is still a work in progress, we have a clear vision on the software we’re building.
Seedcase will take you from structuring and documenting your data, being able to browse and share it, to tending to projects using the data.
We plan to create four software products that run both separately and together:
