9.2 REDCap Integration

About REDCap Integration

REDCap is a web application deployed within the Charité Health Data Platform (HDP) for Charité researchers to collect and manage structured, form-based data for their research studies. Researchers may wish to access these data within the VRE in order to integrate them with other modalities and to conduct data analyses.   

Making your Charité HDP REDCap data accessible within your VRE project takes a few setup steps by the Charité HDP and VRE administrative teams:

1. The Charité HDP administration group sets up an automated data extraction pipeline to retrieve your project-specific REDCap data and store it in a prepared format in the HDP Hadoop-based data infrastructure. 
2. The VRE REDCap data pipeline retrieves the prepared REDCap data from the HDP and stores it in the VRE project-specific data warehouse.
3. VRE Project Members can then view and query the REDCap data directly from the VRE project data warehouse using the Apache Superset data exploration application from within their project workbench.  

Please contact the VRE Support team at vre-support@charite.de to learn more about setting up this integration for your project.
