Public health dataset - Synthetic data for education
Our synthetic dataset can be used to gain a better understanding of big data and how to properly analyse such datasets. Together with epidemiologists and public health researchers we developed the Lifelines public health dataset for educational purposes. This synthetic dataset was artificially generated and does not contain any real data from Lifelines participants. It is designed for data exploration and testing purposes.
Zoom in on the interactive map
Our data makes relevant health research possible and can also be used for policy makers. Our interactive map is a fun way to get insight in our data on village or neighborhood level.
