Foundational Elements for Reuse and Scale

From Individual Use Cases to Reusable Methods, Tools, and Ecosystems

As we worked across multiple health domains, we saw the same challenge recurring: every project was starting from scratch. To accelerate progress, we shifted our focus toward identifying what can be standardized, shared, and reused across initiatives.

This theme is about building reusable “foundational elements” — documented methods, toolkits, governance templates, standard operating procedures, and open-source resources that drastically reduce the time and effort required to launch new data initiatives. Instead of isolated success stories, we create building blocks for scalable ecosystems.

To ensure these elements remain robust and generalizable, we deliberately activate parallel use cases in diverse health domains, including multiple sclerosis, cardiovascular disease, population health management, remote monitoring, and digital pathology. Across each, we capture lessons learned and transform them into shared frameworks that support faster, smarter, and more consistent development.

Key focus areas

• Reusable toolkits and best-practice templates

• Standard operating procedures

• Harmonized workflows across projects

• Methods libraries (technical + sociotechnical)

• Teaching materials and capacity building
