About us
The HARMONY Alliance is a European Public–Private Partnership for Big Data in Hematology.
When we started in 2017, the hematology community was embarking on a journey towards embracing data sharing and recognizing the transformative power of big data. HARMONY set a crucial milestone when this endeavor was only starting. By laying the foundation for future collaborations, advancements, and discoveries that would incorporate state-of-the-art technologies in the field of hematology, we are making our contribution to improving the understanding and treatment of blood disorders.
Now, just almost seven years later with 128 partners from 28 countries, we have transformed both the sharing and use of data. We have developed the Big Data Platform with a data lake that already contains over 122,000 patient records. All data is protected using a unique anonymization and security process. In more than 30 research projects, groundbreaking research is being carried out with the help of advanced customized data analytic services, including AI modeling.
Data-driven leap in cancer research
Blood cancers, including leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma, account for a significant share of cancer cases and deaths, particularly among children. Despite the recent scientific progress, there is still much to do to improve treatment standards and develop personalized therapies.
The rapid development of data innovations gives scientists new tools to decode the nature of many diseases. All we need is data. HARMONY seeks to bridge the gap between data and scientific insights using Big Data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI). We have developed a transparent and reliable approach to data processing, aligned with regulatory requirements and ethical guidelines.

We leverage the power of Big Data in hematology
The HARMONY Big Data Platform is a centralized repository of diverse data types, including clinical, genetic, molecular information, and other omics from multiple databases and organizations.
Two-step data anonymization makes the Platform compliant with data protection regulations at the EU level, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), while ethical guidelines and data access procedures round off the promise of secure, transparent, and reliable data research. The HARMONY Big Data Platform consolidates insights from clinical trials, registries, and real-world patient treatments, creating a cohesive data lake. Once this diverse data is harmonized, scientists embark on their journey to extract
