Introduction
The Synthetic Data repository is a comprehensive resource created and maintained by the AI for Multiple Long Term Conditions Research Support Facility (AIM-RSF). This repository offers an introduction to synthetic data, particularly focusing on applications in healthcare and biomedical research, accompanied by a discussion of the key advantages and the challenges when using synthetic data in research. Researchers can find existing synthetic datasets to use, available tools for generating new synthetic datasets, and research papers and guides to learn more about the role synthetic data has in the current research landscape.
