Announcement of the SUCRE health workshop

As healthcare worldwide undergoes a digital transformation – moving from paper reports and film-based examination products to high-definition digital content – cloud computing solutions are well positioned to alleviate the burden of the paper/film trail of medical data, streamlining operations for care-providers, hospitals, insurance companies, public-health organizations and more. More importantly, the computational capabilities afforded by cloud computing can help meet requirements for timely analyses of diverse high-definition medical records, and accurate provision of personalized care. 

In this emerging healthcare environment, there are not only opportunities to be harnessed, but also obstacles to be overcome if effective and secure services are to be offered to the public.

In this context, the SUCRE project is pleased to invite you to its healthcare workshop that will take place in the frame of the major eHealth Forum in Athens on the 13th May 2014.

The meeting, starting at 11.00am, will bring together practitioners from the industry, users and researchers to present recent results and discuss about the aforementioned topics. It will also support discussions about the use and facilitate the uptake of open-source development model solutions in cloud computing protocols.

In particular, the consortium will examine how the interweaving of open source and cloud technologies can be further stimulated and adopted in the key sector of healthcare industry.
