Smart Data Innovation Lab - Data Innovation Community Personalised Medicine

Modern medicine as well generates increasingly larger data quantities. Reasons for this comprise higher resolution data from state-of-the-art diagnostic methods like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), IT controlled medical technology, comprehensive medical documentation and the ever more detailed knowledge about the human genome. A case in point: personalised cancer therapy. There, increasing use of software aims at taking terabytes of data from clinical, molecular and medication data in diverse formats and distilling from them effective treatment options for each individual patient in real-time, in order to significantly improve treatment results. Within the Smart Data Innovation Lab (SDIL) Data Innovation Community “Personalised Medicine”, important data-driven aspects of personalised medicine are to be explored, such as the need-driven care of patients, IT controlled medical technology or even Web-based patient care. The Data Innovation Community “Personalised Medicine” addresses all companies and research institutions interested in conducting joint research with regard to these aspects. This includes industry user companies and clinics but also companies from the automation and IT industries. This talk provides an introduction to the community and a short overview of current activities
