Ethically sourced (health data repository)
Every month, ETAI will be sharing a term or concept of the month that is related to ethical issues in biomedical research. The term of the month is part of our module’s milestones relating to engagement and reflection on ethics with the AI-READI team.
Term of January 2026: Ethically sourced (health data repository)
A health data repository is ethically sourced when data are collected, governed, and used through transparent and accountable practices that respect contributors’ rights and expectations, mitigate risks of harm, and document data provenance across the full data lifecycle. Ethical sourcing is an ongoing, value-driven process that ensures data use aligns with responsible governance and public benefit.
