The big data revolution promises transformational potential for healthcare through data-driven improvements in research & development, care delivery, and policy-making. As health systems around the world routinely collect a wealth of data every day, we are facing the question: how can we use big data to improve patient’s lives? In
EU-funded researchers have developed a common assessment scheme for security products that fully takes into account issues such as data protection and fundamental rights. This will help to harmonise the EU market, build up consumer trust and bring innovations to market faster. Powered by WPeMatico
EU-funded researchers have developed two cutting-edge software platforms that European crisis responders can now use to improve coordination, communication and preparedness. The platforms could help prevent catastrophes escalating, reduce economic losses and save lives. Powered by WPeMatico
