SWADESH

The Department of Biotechnology (DBT)-National Brain Research Centre (DBT-NBRC) have recently developed the project SWADESH, a unique brain initiative focusing on certified neuroimaging, neurochemical, neuropsychological data and analytics that are made accessible to researchers for managing brain disorders.

• It is the first large-scale multimodal neuroimaging database designed specifically for the Indian population with big-data architecture and analytics for various disease categories under one platform.
• It proposes a big-data architecture that manages and analyzes six modules, namely neurodegenerative, neuropsychiatric, neurodevelopmental, COVID-19-related disorders, other disorders, and healthy subjects.
• SWADESH is supported by JAVA-based workflow environment and Python.
• Its development will facilitate the integration of multi-site data and collaborative research worldwide.
