This workshop will introduce participants to\u00a0Lifebit\u2019s cloud-based platform\u00a0and provide practical training on analyzing synthetic health data. What is the CanPath Synthetic Dataset? The\u00a0CanPath Synthetic Dataset\u00a0is a versatile resource designed for research, education, and practical applications. It was manipulated to mimic CanPath\u2019s nationally harmonized data but does not include or reveal actual data of any CanPath participants. Interested in exploring the data? Check out the\u00a0CanPath Data Dictionary. What is the Trusted Research Environment? The\u00a0Trusted Research Environment (TRE)\u00a0is a secure, cloud-based platform where researchers can access and analyze CanPath data without downloading it to their local machines. The TRE ensures data privacy and security, providing a controlled environment for conducting research while offering powerful tools for analysis. Participants in this workshop will learn how to navigate and use the TRE efficiently.\u00a0Lifebit, CanPath and AWS have collaborated to bring this platform to life. Who should attend? This workshop is open to: Faculty\/staff using the dataset for education\u00a0(e.g., incorporating it into a course assignment). Faculty\/staff using the dataset for training purposes\u00a0(e.g., teaching trainees how to analyze population health data or preparing to apply for real CanPath data access). Trainees\u00a0(e.g., postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, undergraduate students) interested in learning how to work with CanPath data. Learning objectives By the end of the workshop, participants will: Navigate and analyze the\u00a0CanPath Synthetic Dataset\u00a0using the\u00a0Lifebit cloud-based platform. Work with\u00a0pre-created analytical pipelines\u00a0in\u00a0R and Python\u00a0(basic familiarity required). Understand how to bring in additional data and use platform tools such as the\u00a0Cohort Browser, Airlock, and Data Factory. Gain insights from\u00a0real-world case studies\u00a0and\u00a0demonstrations from CanPath experts. Connect with fellow researchers, instructors, and clinician scientists to foster future collaborations. Agenda The final agenda will be sent to attendees prior to the event.
