Meaningful Integration of Data, Analytics and Services of Computer-Based Medical Systems: The MIDAS Touch

The MIDAS consortium is a partnership involving health authorities, and technical big data experts from universities, research institutions, MNCs and SMEs across six EU countries (UK (NI and England), Ireland, Belgium, Finland, Spain and Slovenia), and the USA. The management of big data for 'health in all' poses a significant challenge for health policy makers. This challenge is addressed by the MIDAS project through the development of an integrated solution enabling knowledge liberation from data silos and unification of heterogeneous big data sources that can provide evidence-based actionable information and transform the way care is provided.
