How to Unzip Your Personal Health Data from Lucy
These steps are based on Ubuntu. Other distributions might have different steps.
  1. When you downloaded the document library, you selected a location for the library. Open that location with Archive Manager.
  2. Right-click the compressed file to open the shortcut menu.
  3. Click Extract Here. The files in your document library are uncompressed and appear in the current working directory.
To extract files from a command line, enter unzip <filename>.zip.


Why is My Data Zipped? What Does This Mean?
When Lucy gives you a "zipped" folder, it's actually one file that contains many other files. This makes it easier for you to download your entire library from Lucy at once, instead of having to download each document in your library one at a time. Also, zipping the data makes it smaller, so you can download it more quickly.

However, when you view the data you've downloaded, all the things we can do to make it easy to read and understand won't work in a compressed format. Therefore, it's best that you unzip the folder you've downloaded so that you can easily read its contents.


To view your downloaded clinical data, double click on the file called INDEX.HTM after you have unzipped your document library.

If you have associated a password with your download, you will need to enter that password before you can view the protected documents. Unzip and open your download. Inside the IHE_XDM directory, you will see one or more zipped folders, such as "Lucy_0.zip". Unzip each one and enter your password when prompted. Save the unzipped folder in the same directory with the same name, such as "Lucy_0," so you can view them by clicking on INDEX.HTM.

Remember to delete the unzipped folders when you are done viewing your clinical data to keep these documents protected.
