I gather data from hospitals around the world in an attempt to produce a centralised and unified database for participating hospitals and researchers to benefit from.

Each hospital seems to have it’s own way of recording healthcare data. There are many standards out there which hospitals follow but there is no universal agreement on how healthcare data should be recorded.

There are many domains in medicine, each of which have specific variables that need to be collected. For example cardiology data collection requires the collection of different variables than oncology or endocrinology.
