Danish National Archives are digitalizing historical medical birth records
TAGS

An initiative by the Danish National Archives, in partnership with the Center for Clinical Research and Prevention and Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen, is underway to digitize historical medical birth records using AI. Paper records for over four million individuals born between 1926 and the 1970s are being transformed into a digital database.

The project, funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation, is expected to be completed by 2029. Once finalized, the database will be made readily available to researchers under the usual regulations governing access to national data in Denmark.
