Applied Informatics Hub

The Applied Informatics Hub (AIH) provides a single data resource for applied researchers in south London (and beyond). It gathers together digital innovations in health and social care research to allow researchers rapid access to the latest tools and those under development. The AIH is divided into six themed areas (see below).
