Israel is building a cross-government research network that will allow ministries to analyze each other’s data without exposing personal records, after the Finance Ministry and the National Digital Agency selected MDClone to operate the new system.
The project, called RAKMA (Network for the Advancement of Data Science), is designed to solve a problem that has long limited government research: valuable datasets have been locked inside individual agencies, making it nearly impossible to study issues that cut across health, welfare, education, taxation, and infrastructure.
The new virtual research environment will link those silos through a secure, distributed platform where researchers can run joint analyses using synthetic, fully de-identified data.
