The project

The Hale and Hearty Knowledge Base is a project led by the Irish Government (Department of Public Expenditure and Reform), supported by the EU Connecting European Facility (CEF), and with programme partners such as Central Statistics Office, Department of Health, Fingal County Council and Ireland’s Data Cloud Cluster (IDCC).

The project aims to make health and wellbeing information more easily accessible to the public – to use this information to improve their own health and wellbeing and to see it in the context of their personal health information and activities. The project provides health and wellbeing related information, open data and a health and wellbeing app.

As part of an EU CEF (Connecting Europe Facility) funded programme, Derilinx together with the programme partners have built a CKAN based Health & Wellbeing Knowledge Base. This Knowledge Base constitutes a powerful solution that enables the general public to have access in an interactive manner to multiple Health & Wellbeing related information provided across a range of partners (Local Authorities, Sport Authorities, Central Government, etc). Advanced search functionalities including both geo and non-geo data have been designed to deliver a user-friendly experience within the Knowledge Base, facilitating access to information with the view to deliver against the targeted outcome to improve sport related activities.
