“As a healthcare organization we are ahead of the game, and we’ve been ahead of the game for many years. The ability to get your hands on synthetic data is phenomenal. It’s a great story for The Ottawa Hospital.”
“We can access data in days as opposed to weeks or months and this has a lot of value for researchers, but it also helps us recruit people and develop partnerships with universities and other organizations.”
“We are pleased to be able to provide the MUHC with this cutting-edge data analysis platform. Thanks to the ADAMS Centre, the integration of this new tool will take place within a collaborative, multidisciplinary framework. With this initiative, we aim to ensure that all MUHC employees feel engaged in the continuous improvement of our practices,”
“The MDClone platform enables healthcare professionals to visualize, analyze, and share high-value clinical insights while protecting patient privacy.”
“The staff working on the frontlines may be noticing things that lead them to consider questions from a completely different lens from that of an internal data team. We wanted to leverage the strength of different viewpoints from across the organization.”
“Using synthetic data ensures that patient privacy is protected and removes barriers, providing our researchers with instant access to health data that they can explore dynamically”
“MDClone has been a game changer in terms of data access. It allows clinicians such as myself to access synthetic data directly; test a potential data request on my own, to see if it is reasonable before engaging the data warehouse team; and ensure that once I engage the data team, the request is as close as possible to exactly what I want.”
MDClone’s synthetic data engine produces datasets that mirror the statistical properties of real patient information without including identifiable data, enabling full compliance with PHIPA, PIPEDA, and provincial privacy mandates. This reduces administrative risk while unlocking data access for frontline teams. Dr. Innie Chen has experienced first hand the importance of testing her hypothesis with synthetic data, and then transitioning into the real-world data component to improve the efficiencies in data exploration.

Healthcare administrators are under pressure to do more with less. Amid rising patient demand and workforce burnout, organizations also need the ability to innovate rapidly and make data-driven decisions. Organizations like The Ottawa Hospital understand the importance of speed to value with self-service data.
