2025 OHDSI APAC Collaborator Showcase

OHDSI’s mission is to improve health by empowering a community to collaboratively generate evidence that promotes better health decisions and better care. We envision a world in which observational research produces a comprehensive understanding of health and disease. To achieve this goal, OHDSI has formed a multi-stakeholder, interdisciplinary collaboration that aims to bring out the value of health data through large-scale analytics and open-source software tools. OHDSI has established a global community of observational health researchers and a research network covering over 810 million patients.

OHDSI’s achievements to date would not be possible if not for the hard work of our growing community members. Our annual APAC Collaborator Showcase provides our APAC community the opportunity to share their tremendous work. Once again, we are inviting collaborators to participate in the Collaborator Showcase for this year’s OHDSI APAC Symposium. Collaborators will have the opportunity to submit their work for poster presentations and lightning talks.

Thank you for your interest and participation in the 2025 OHDSI APAC Collaborator Showcase! Submissions are now closed, and notifications of acceptance have been sent out individually to the authors of selected works. We look forward to reading and hearing about your work in person in Shanghai! If you have any questions, please contact [email protected].
