'Processing and managing medical data streams', Rome, Italy
20 June 2012 - 20 June 2012
Italy
An event entitled 'Processing and managing medical data streams' will take place from 20 to 22 June 2012 in Rome, Italy.
Computer-based medical systems are facing challenges created by the rapid growth in information technology applications and the complexity and volume of health-related data. For example, medical entities use a variety of sources to integrate data on patients. While this has significant benefits, data production often takes the form of high-speed continuous flows of data, i.e. data streams.
As medical data streams become widespread, there is an increasing need for the development of intelligent tools to make use of these data. Dealing with continuous, and possibly infinite, flows of data require different approaches for data processing and management. Particular issues to address include summarisation of infinite data, resource-awareness, and real-time monitoring of changes and recurrences.
Medical domains have unique data needs. For example, health information systems now deal with heterogeneous data sources, possibly distributed across healthcare institutions. At the same time, data integration needs to take account of privacy-preserving issues, while maintaining overall performance.
The event will gather data stream processing stakeholders interested in medical applications, as well as medical domain experts interested in timely analysis of their data streams.For further information, please visit: http://promameds12.med.up.pt/(opens in new window)
