Implementing LFS in epidemiology comes with several challenges:
Cost: High storage costs can be a significant barrier, especially for smaller research institutions. Scalability: As data grows, the storage solution must scale without compromising performance. Interoperability: Ensuring that storage solutions are compatible with various data formats and analysis tools is essential for seamless integration. Data Privacy: Protecting patient confidentiality and complying with regulations like HIPAA and GDPR are critical when storing health data.
