The German Central Health Study Hub is a platform that serves two different kinds of users. First, it allows scientists and data holding organizations (data producers) to publish their project characteristics, documents and data related to their research endeavour in a FAIR manner. Obviously, patient-level data cannot be shared publicly, however, metadata describing the patient-level data along with information about data access can be shared via the platform (preservation description information). The other kind of user is a scientist or researcher (data consumer) that likes to find information about past and ongoing studies and is interested in reusing existing patient-level data for their project. To summarize, the platforms connect data providers with data consumers in the domain of clinical, public health and epidemiologic health research to foster reuse. Since the system is freely accessible via a web browser and provides explanatory information about collected information via an extensive glossary, the system can also be used by scientists of other research domains. More and detailed information can be found here.
The service is hosted in a kubernetes cluster. This repository contains the required cluster configuration and documentation. Helm is used as the package manager, and this repository also acts as the chart repository for helm. To add this repository to helm, use the following snippet:
helm repo add csh-deployment https://nfdi4health.github.io/csh-deployment/
helm repo update
