Description
Modern medicine as well generates increasingly large data quantities. Reasons for this development are: the higher resolution data from state-of-the-art diagnostic methods (e.g. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), IT controlled medical technology, comprehensive medical documentation) and the detailed knowledge about the human genome. As a case in point, there is personalized cancer therapy where the increasing use of software aims at taking terabytes of data from clinical, molecular and medication data in diverse formats. In order to significantly improve treatment results, effective treatment options for each individual patient are distilled from these data.
Within the Data Innovation Community “Personalized Medicine”, important data-driven aspects of personalized 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 “Personalized 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.
