Health is the foundation of an engaged and happy life, and modern humans have been the fortunate beneficiaries of great advances in medical technology (Collins, 2015). With each new technology, more clues become available to decipher the problems that plague our well-being. The advent of individualized information from cheaper genome sequencing, the Internet of Things, and widespread collection of health data may enable researchers to solve formerly inaccessible health problems. However, when this massive quantity of data is spread out with limited access, is in forms not conducive to sharing, cannot be easily packaged for computational methods, or does not exist as a complete record, it is impossible to perform the complex data analysis required to arrive at solutions.
