The health care technology data landscape in 2026
Health Care Technology data splits into three veins — clinical research corpora, medical imaging, and regulatory or policy records — and every one of the 12 datasets Datadory catalogs for the industry (6 primary plus 6 related) sits in a public repository rather than a commercial product.
Regulatory and policy data comes straight from government publishers. EUDAMED - European Database on Medical Devices tracks 3,210,828 UDI-DI device records and 4,535 certificates for the EU market behind a public unauthenticated JSON search API, while ASTP/ONC publishes about 20 API-accessible datasets on US EHR adoption reaching back to 2008 through the ONC Health IT Dashboard and Open Data. A discovery layer sits on top: Data.gov HHS Health Technology Catalog indexes roughly 19,911 agency datasets inside 552,271 total.
For contrast, catalog-wide figures put 82.4% of the 1,744 datasets Datadory catalogs in the free column and just 32.9% behind an official API; this slice beats both numbers outright.
What are the core health care technology datasets?
Six primary records carry the category, flanked by six related ones that reach into biotechnology and health care services. Grouped by function:
Clinical research corpora
Medical imaging
- The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) (quality score 9). NCI-funded archive of de-identified cancer images organized into ~240 collections (211 Complete, 26 Ongoing), scaling from dozens of subjects to 26,254. DICOM is primary alongside SVS/TIFF pathology slides, with per-collection outcomes, genomics and expert annotations joined through REST APIs. Most collections carry CC Attribution 3.0 or 4.0; DUA-required collections moved to NCI CRDC/dbGaP after April 2025.

How is health care technology data used?
Nine recurring jobs define how teams work this pool, and each maps to named sources:
Data Coverage and Field Structure
Datadory delivers this dataset fully structured and normalized, ready for direct analysis without manual pipeline configuration or schema parsing.
Who uses health care technology data?
Four working profiles account for most searches, and each starts somewhere different:
Competitive Intelligence & Product Teams. They monitor competitor trial status flips through ClinicalTrials.gov registry changes, watch device registrations and certificates by actor name in EUDAMED, and compare certified-product counts across states in ONC data — four relevant records, three of them strong.
How do you build a health care technology data stack?
A workable stack layers five blocks, ordered from most durable to most perishable:
Health care technology data FAQs
The eight questions below account for most of what buyers and builders ask about this pool, and the short answers hold up on their own. The recurring theme: all 12 datasets are free, and the friction lives in credentials and reuse terms rather than price.

How do I access European medical device registration data?
EUDAMED, the European Commission's MDR/IVDR database, publishes actor registrations, UDI device records, certificates and vigilance reports. Its public site offers an unauthenticated JSON search API covering 3,210,828 UDI-DI records, 4,535 certificates and 53 notified bodies, with submissions mandatory from 28 May 2026.
Which datasets track EHR adoption in the United States?
The ONC Health IT Dashboard and Open Data portal publishes hospital and physician adoption briefs covering 2008 through 2024 plus Promoting Interoperability files for 2019-2024, behind a documented REST API returning JSON, CSV or XML. Its aha.csv alone spans all 50 states plus territories.
