IC Hub’s First Network Survey Highlights Opportunity for Data Marketplace

Discover the insights from our new Medical Imaging Data Marketplace Report! In February, ARPA-H and the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched a joint effort seeking expert feedback to streamline access to affordable, high-quality, regulatory-ready medical imaging data at scale. The IC Hub conducted a network survey to collect input on organizations’ specific needs and challenges with utilizing, managing, and producing data for product development and evaluation. Our network provided valuable insights on standardization, interoperability, security, affordability, and access.
