After eight years of coordinated effort, the Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN) released the metadata of a uniquely rich national clinical dataset, spanning more than 800’000 patients and billions of semantically harmonized data points across diagnoses, procedures, labs, medications, vital signs, and more. Researchers can now easily discover what data exists in Switzerland and how to access it. 

The Prix de Quervain 2026 will be awarded for outstanding research conducted in, or originat-ing from, the two polar regions, across all scientific disciplines.

Published by the Swiss Health Observatory (Obsan), the Health Care Atlas documents the use of healthcare services based on over 100 indicators, ranging from ADHD medication to cardiac catheterization and radiotherapy.
