Synthea Coherent Data Set is a synthetic dataset containing multiple linked healthcare data types. It includes FHIR resources, DICOM images, genomic data, physiological data such as ECGs, and simple clinical notes, with FHIR linking all data types together. The dataset is published by The MITRE Corporation under a CC-BY-4.0 license on the aws_open_data platform.
Use Cases
- Testing FHIR-based data interoperability and linkage systems based on the described linked resources.
- Developing and validating multi-modal diagnostic models based on the combined DICOM images, ECGs, and clinical notes.
- Training synthetic data generation models for healthcare based on the coherent structure of the dataset.
- Researching genomic-phenotypic correlations based on the linked genomic and clinical data.
Strengths
- Data is synthetically generated, which may address privacy concerns for healthcare AI development.
- Includes multiple linked data types (FHIR, DICOM, genomic, physiological, text), enabling multi-modal analysis.
- Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality, scale, and file formats require manual inspection after download.
- Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale projects.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
