Big Data: Fueling the transformation of Europe’s Healthcare Sector

The BigMedilytics project will organize the event “Big Data: Fueling the transformation of Europe’s Healthcare Sector”, taking place on the 4th and 5th of September in the Polytechnic City of Innovation in Valencia (Spain).

The event will involve organizations covering the key players in the healthcare sector such as healthcare providers, health technology companies, payers, research institutes and academia from across Europe. The event will bring together high-level speakers such as Dr. Ceri Thomson, Deputy head of the eHealth Unit in DG CNECT within the European Commission and Prof. Dr. med. Stefan Blankenburg from UKE (University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf).

During the first day, breakout sessions will be organized covering three different themes within the Healthcare sector, namely Population Health and Chronic Disease Management, Oncology and Industrialization of Healthcare Services. Each breakout session will discuss all the BigMedilytics pilots that are covered within a particular theme. Participants will get an opportunity to find out how the healthcare sector can leverage the power of big data. In addition, they will have the opportunity to provide their feedback on the importance and relevance of the big data pilots to their own health systems/sectors. Opinions on business models and healthcare policy will also be discussed to better understand the challenges that need to be overcome to roll out the concepts across Europe.

On the second day, three parallel sessions will take place: a session on Security, Privacy & Legal Aspects of Healthcare Big Data Analytics, a networking session and an AI in Healthcare workshop organized by the BDVA TF7-Healthcare to identify and discuss the key areas and the vision and future potential of AI in Healthcare. The workshop will result in an “Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare” whitepaper.

This event, organised by INCLIVA Biomedical Research Institute, ITI, and Philips, is by invitation. Registration is now closed.
