HealthTech: Public Data in Hospitals
Publically Generated Hospital Data (PGHD) was once limited to patients reporting their lifestyle choices, disease and treatment history. Nowadays, advances in data science and a surge in wearable device sales has led the amount and the quality of patient data to skyrocket – reporting information to doctors at the same pace that people live their lives. Also on the rise is AI’s capacity to process that data for the betterment of primary care. To shed light on this and other pressing topics in the field, expect a fascinating talk from Bart Dewitte, director of Digital Health DACH at IBM Germany and Hannes Dahnke Head of Data Analytics at Philips Healthcare DACH based on anonymous public PGHD defining the future of diseases, hospitals and the patient/doctor relationship.
