Call for abstracts now closed. Thank you to those who submitted.
The HISA Big Data 2013 conference brought together clinicians, policy makers, industry executives, and scientists to explore technological innovations in creating, managing, and analysing complex, distributed, dynamic biomedical and healthcare data. In this follow-on event, we hope to demonstrate continuing progress in this area, and to explore technologies and applications that enable data interpretation and promote deeper understanding of these complex data sets. Applications and methods that improve the efficiency and performance of health organisations, lead to new treatments or better patient outcomes, or support translation from bench to bedside as well as case studies of the impact of such technologies are encouraged.
Topics
Authors are encouraged to submit under the following Big Data 2014 themes and health informatics speciality areas:
We welcome work that addresses a broad range of biomedical data - spanning from genomics to images to clinical.
