The Modern Data Management Platform

Data Capture

Streamline capture of any medical data, including imaging, EMR, digital pathology, omics and more

- Designed for multi-modality research
- Manages a wide array of data types including imaging files, digital pathology, clinical EMR data, omics, instruments, and more
- Integrate data from external research platforms
- Option to add custom data types via Gears and viewers
- Rapid and automated data capture for both retrospective and prospective data utilizing connectors for imaging modalities, PACS, RIS, raw data, or file system
- Tools for high-performance bulk loading
- Simple drag-and-drop web-upload with no software installation required
- Solutions for HIPAA and 21 CFR Part 11 compliant data management
- Configurable de-identification capabilities available through all capture tools
- Set unique whitelists, blacklists, and other rules (remove, replace, date processing, etc.) to ensure data is compliant and ready for research
- De-identification support prior to upload or between Flywheel projects to meet specific privacy needs

Data Curation

Organize, label, and annotate images and data for search and reuse across your institution

- Standardized research data model provides consistency, with extensibility options
- Data organized by groups, projects, and subjects with full support for longitudinal studies
- Add custom metadata to any object in Flywheel for maximum flexibility
- Integrated radiology-grade viewer with support for persistent, searchable ROIs
- Support for blind reader studies with customizable labels, annotations, and task assignment workflows
- Customizable forms in the viewer for clinical data capture, measurements, and workflow status

Automate and Compute

Automate and integrate image processing pipelines, machine learning workflows, and analytics

- Automate data pre-processing workflows and analytic pipelines via standard plug-in applications (Gears)
- Create custom Gears or utilize ready-to-use applications from the Flywheel Gear Exchange
- Container-based approach facilitates handling large batch processing workloads with Flywheel’s elastic compute scaling
- Open APIs and SDKs to enable rapid integration with existing tools and pipelines
- All capabilities of the Flywheel system are available via a published REST API and SDKs for leading scientific languages including Python, MATLAB, and R
- Rapidly select metadata and data for use in reports and analysis through Flywheel Views
- Choose data/metadata fields, review selected outputs, and export for manual external analysis
- Views can be saved and accessed via SDKs for use in tools such as Jupyter Notebook, R studio, and MATLAB
- Derivative information is recorded when Gears are run to support the consistency and reproducibility of your project, including version, inputs, status, and outputs
- Easy to ensure that all necessary processing steps were performed and performed consistently

Collaboration & Compliance

Empower secure collaboration and sharing while ensuring data privacy and regulatory compliance

- Secure, access-controlled projects allow for data and algorithm sharing with internal and external collaborators
- Manage privileges with a role-based permission model to ensure that only approved collaborators can access and modify data
- Federated identity service makes it easy to securely invite external collaborators to your Flywheel project
- Integrated with research access federations featuring 4,000 leading research institutions around the world to simplify user authentication. Federations include InCommon, EduGain, OrcID, the Australian Access Federation, and more
- Secure projects enable you to manage collaboration in compliance with IRB, HIPAA, and GDPR.
- Re-identification tools allow you to identify and purge data for research subjects if requested.
- Audit trails, digital signatures, and approval workflows ensure tracking and authorization. Additional options for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
- Provides radiologists with a lightweight, HIPAA-compliant solution for deploying algorithms into hospital workflows
- Researchers can run advanced models at scale on patient data and bring diagnostic analytics into patient treatment
