Community

The RADAR-base community emerged from the IMI funded project RADAR-CNS, where a consortium of clinicians, developers, researchers, patient organizations and EFPIA partners joined forces to transform care by leveraging sensor data from wearable devices like fitness trackers and smartphones.

The RADAR-base architecture consists of multiple components and methods to ingest and access data. It is important to understand the concepts and components behind the RADAR-base architecture. Especially, if you are interested in setting an instance of RADAR-base on your server or willing to contribute to the platform development. Some recommended documents to read before getting started:

• Concepts and Components of RADAR-base platform.
• Concepts in Management Portal
• Introduction to passive and active data collection in RADAR-base.
• Introduction to Kafka connectors and Kafka connect API
• Introduction to Apache Avro

The RADAR-base platform, apart from the data-ingesting apps, is distributed as Docker containers packaged as Helm Charts and integrated and orchestrated using Kubernetes. A basic working knowledge of Docker containers and Kubernetes is required to understand the platform’s deployment process.

Please read the How to install RADAR-base using RADAR-Docker, which provides you with the step-by-step instructions to get started easily.
