The Second International Workshop on Web Science and Information Exchange in the Medical Web, Glasgow, UK
28 October 2011 - 28 October 2011
United Kingdom
The Second International Workshop on Web Science and Information Exchange in the Medical Web will take place on 28 October 2011 in Glasgow, UK.
The amount of social media data dealing with medical and health issues has increased significantly over the past few years. Facts, experiences, opinions or information on behaviour can all be found on the internet and could be used to support a broad range of applications. For example, health organizations monitor online news repositories and web pages for relevant data on epidemiological events. Physicians learn about the experiences of their colleagues provided through social media platforms. At the same time, patients can search for information or experiences of others.
The event will cover the latest discussion and findings in the analysis of medical social media data and multi-media data, including event detection and information extraction.
The event is being organised by the ' Medical ecosystem personalised event-based surveillance' (M-eco) project. Funded by the Seventh Framework Programme, the project covers technologies related to the development of the Medicine 2.0 which are rapidly changing the possibilities to assess and provide health information.For further information, please visit: http://www.meco-project.eu/medex2011(opens in new window)
