IEEE Brain Data Bank Competition - Boston. The IEEE Brain Initiative is sponsoring several challenges and competitions in 2017 to explore various brain/neuro datasets. You are cordially invited to register for the next competition in Boston on December 9th to exercise your curiosity and creativity to make sense out of datasets.
Symposium on Data Science for Healthcare DaSH 2017 The Symposium on Data Science for Healthcare (DaSH) is a premium forum that gathers leading researchers, practitioners, policy makers and thought leaders in related fields to discuss the latest innovative and visionary ideas, grand challenges, and future directions in leveraging big data for healthcare revolution. DaSH also provides valuable opportunities for scholars to disseminate their work, and fosters collaboration in a multi-disciplinary setting across different sectors for cross-fertilization.
DSAA2017 - The 4th IEEE International Conference on Data Science and Advanced Analytics Data driven scientific discovery is an important emerging paradigm for computing in areas including social, service, Internet of Things, sensor networks, telecommunications, biology, health-care and cloud. Under this paradigm, Data Science is the core that drives new research in many areas, from environmental to social. There are many associated scientific challenges, ranging from data capture, creation, storage, search, sharing, modeling, analysis, and visualization. We mention here the integration across heterogeneous, interdependent complex data resources for real-time decision making, streaming data, collaboration, and ultimately value co-creation among the complex aspects to be addressed. Data science encompasses the areas of data analytics, machine learning, statistics, optimization and managing big data, and has become essential to glean understanding from large data sets and convert data into actionable intelligence, be it the data available to enterprises, Government or on the Web.

Small devices generate big data

Until recently, if you’d looked into where our health data is collected by researchers across Australia, you would have encountered the usual suspects – hospitals, prescription records, aged-care facilities, and local GP clinics.

But the future of big data is set to look very different when it comes to our health, because the rise of increasingly sophisticated personal devices such as iPhones and Fitbits means scientists can access information across all aspects of our daily lives. And that will give us better insight than ever before into how and when we get sick.
