SyntheticMass
Overview
SyntheticMass is a Synthea-generated data set that contains realistic but fictional residents of the state of Massachusetts. The synthetic population aims to statistically mirror the state population in terms of demographics, disease burden, vaccinations, medical visits, and social determinants. [1] Refer to the SyntheticMass website for more information.
There are several data sets available on the SyntheticMass downloads page.
