Traditional Data Engineering Components

Aggregating Data

Gathering data from various sources to create a consolidated view, enabling a comprehensive analysis of health information.

Transforms / ETL (Extract, Transform, Load)

This process involves extracting data from different sources, transforming it into a suitable format for analysis, and loading it into a central repository such as a data lake.

Data Lake

A centralized storage repository that holds a vast amount of raw data in its native format until it is needed. In healthcare, a data lake facilitates the storage of diverse data types, including unstructured data like medical images and structured health records.

Collection, Storage, Processing, Governance

These fundamental aspects ensure that data is accurately collected, securely stored, efficiently processed, and governed under strict compliance standards to maintain data integrity and privacy
