DESCRIPTION

A Healthy nation is a Wealthy nation! An improvement in health leads to economic growth through long-term gains in human and physical capital, which ultimately raises productivity and per capita GDP. However, the healthcare sector is highly cost-intensive and currently accounts for 10% of the EU’s GDP. In 2014 the EU-28’s total healthcare expenditure was €1.39 trillion. This is expected to increase to 30% by 2060. The increase in healthcare costs is primarily due to a rapidly ageing population. In fact, chronic diseases result in the loss of 3.4 million potential productive life years. This amounts to an annual loss of €115 billion for EU economies. These figures clearly indicate that current trends within the Healthcare sector are totally unsustainable. The BigMedilytics Healthcare Lighthouse project aims to demonstrate how the use of Big Data technologies can help disrupt the Healthcare sector so that the quality, cost and access to care can all be improved – simultaneously.

The project executes a total of 12 pilots covering three main themes: Population Health, Oncology and Industrialization of Healthcare. This talk will give an overview of some of the pilots being executed under the Population Health and Oncology themes. Clinical experts will describe the problems they face and why a Big Data approach is needed while technology specialists will provide an overview of the Big Data solutions being developed for the various pilots. To deal with the sensitivity of patient data, the session will also include a talk describing the impact of GDPR on the healthcare sector and steps needed to ensure the sector benefits from the power of Big Data analytics while preserving the privacy of individuals.
