Alleviate Pain Data Hub

Alleviate is led by the Health Informatics Centre (HIC) and School of Medicine, at University of Dundee along with collaborators from Digital Research Service (DRS) at University of Nottingham, University of Oxford, University of Bath, King’s College London and Imperial College London. It forms part of an exciting, larger £24M initiative to try to address the problem of chronic pain: The Advanced Pain Discovery Platform (APDP). The APDP is co-funded by UKRI and Versus Arthritis and is delivered in partnership with HDR UK as part of the Health Data Research Hub network.

Alleviate is transforming UK pain datasets to be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) and is providing expert data engineering, to enhance responsible, timely and trustworthy analysis by researchers and innovators, with the aim to improve lives. 

Guided by leading experts in pain research, APDP research projects, industry partners and people with lived experience of chronic pain, Alleviate will curate data around chronic pain research, provide a key resource for pain researchers across the UK and support linkage of these pain datasets to healthcare data.
