The pooling of data, and the governance of shared data resources is a key concern in the data intensive digital society. There are multiple efforts to establish appropriate institutional, legal, and technological frameworks in that space, from the European Union’s Data Governance Act to various platforms, such as the Amsterdam Data exchange. Data governance requires a multi-disciplinary approach, as it regards questions about the compatibility of fundamental rights (such as privacy, data protection and the prohibition of discrimination), technological infrastructures and architectures (of data collection, anonymization, or processing) and the social, political and institutional challenges (the control over data being a source of power, business advantage, sovereignty, etc.). What kind of role can blockchain-based solutions reasonably play in that ecosystem? What are the technological as well as non-technological constraints or conditions of the feasibility of a distributed solution? What are the institutional aspects of data sharing and data pooling, and are they compatible with the modes of organization decentralized, “trustless” technological intermediaries offer? What are the experiences of successful and failed projects which tried to establish public (or private) data (eco)systems in various domains, such as identity data, financial data, property data, contract data and transactional data.IVIR, 4d ago

Both providers and patients benefit when containerized data and data economic networks are implemented. They streamline data management and offer potentially exponential value opportunities, boosting revenues. Previously unconnected datasets can be “crawled” by AI algorithms without that data ever leaving its point of generation and without containers needing to be opened or transferred, potentially leading to new scientific discoveries that improve care. Patients and stakeholders are more engaged, in contrast to, for example, social media sites where they provide data for free but are at risk of privacy loss and other downsides. Data economic networks, furthermore, allow for massive scalability as many parties can participate in data generation and utilization, all while maintaining their own “vaults” without having to rely on any single source of data protection or centralized system or format.MedCity News, 19d ago

Data cleaning, data review, and cross-functional multivariate correlations requires tireless detailed attention to achieve correct analytical results.It is deep in understanding the data architecture, points of origin, and data flow where one can truly excel with cleaning and review tasks. Performing a degree of data forensics leads to intelligent data management. For example, medical health devices and applications require an understanding in how the device or app was calibrated to the fit-for-purpose design and how data is transmitted through subsequent locations (e.g. cloud platforms) is instrumental to building targeted data quality controls. Same holds true for EHR, having knowledge of specific unstructured data fields allows bespoke natural language programming algorithms to translate meaning to empirical scientific evidence, which ultimately fuels statistical analysis plans.In addition, emerging techniques in Machine Learning (ML) bring the promise of more efficient methods and approaches to data cleaning and review. Based on large historical data sets and recorded events, ML driven rules can be applied to aid data quality tasks. ML is and will continue to be an important growth area within data management. Finally given the voluminous amount of data required for clinical trials alongside data source variations, creating well-tuned computer processing algorithms which rely on data standards is essential. To help in this regard, developing a programmatic execution scheme that leverages distributed data processing and architectures scaled to size, such as those within Databricks, can provide the best path forward to receiving and processing data at accelerated time intervals.Pharma Tech Outlook, 7d ago

Lastly, it’s a good idea to develop data protection policies and establish healthy data hygiene practices. For example, backup and data recovery techniques can distribute copies of your records to protect against data loss. Furthermore, continually monitoring access to sensitive data is important, as is encrypting data at rest. But, since process mining solutions are intended to highlight areas to improve, they needn’t create persistent data records for long periods. Therefore, consider establishing a data lifecycle and deletion process upfront. Maintaining data hygiene will not only aid security but decrease storage costs over time.Acceleration Economy, 5d ago

Almost all (92%) of academic medical centers in data collaboratives have faced technical issues. The main technology challenges involve the technical integration of hospital systems with the collaborative. A third have faced technical difficulties with the DC platform itself or its associated services. The survey indicates that more than 90% of academic medical centers still use a purely centralized approach for data exchange with the DC. The centralized approach creates lengthy legal discussions on data transfer. When DCs generate copies of data, adherence to data privacy regulations becomes more complex. The approach inherently prevents expansion into certain countries due to local data privacy and security laws that prohibit data copying or transfer. Further drawbacks of the centralized approach include consent management difficulties, double- data entry, and large data transfer costs.hitconsultant.net, 5d ago

Over the past two decades, data management has gone through cycles of centralisation vs. decentralisation, including databases, data warehouses, cloud data stores, data lakes, etc. While the debate over which approach continues, the last few years have proven that data is more distributed than centralised for most organisations. While there are numerous options for deploying enterprise data architecture, 2022 saw accelerated adoption of two data architectural approaches to better manage and access the distributed data – data fabric and data mesh. There is an inherent difference between the two. Data fabric is a composable stack of data management technologies, and data mesh is a process orientation for distributed groups of teams to manage enterprise data as they see fit. Both are critical to enterprises that want to manage their data better. Easy access to data and ensuring it's governed and secure is important to every data stakeholder – from data scientists all the way to executives. Afterall, it is critical for dashboarding and reporting, advanced analytics, machine learning, and AI projects.IT Brief Australia, 20d ago
For instance, data managers need better tools to aggregate, clean, and provide data with less manual effort. We can automate activities like data cleaning, medical coding, safety signals, and predictive analyses, which are all too often still on paper or in spreadsheets. Technology can also eliminate manual processes to simplify the data manager’s job, like end-of-study data or serious advance-event reconciliation.scientistlive.com, 7d ago
Complexity also impacts internal policy and regulatory compliance; strict regulations akin to GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) are being adopted worldwide, making analysis and classification more difficult without the help of an unstructured data management solution. Furthermore, data sovereignty regulations impose restrictions on physical data location and data flows, requiring organizations to adequately segment access to resources by location and identify and geo-fence impacted datasets. Solutions that support these regulatory frameworks and are capable of handling data privacy requests–like Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs), identifying and classifying personally identifiable information (PII), or even taking further action on right to be forgotten (RtbF) and right of erasure (RoE) requests–can radically simplify compliance operations.Gigaom, 9d ago

That’s because a foundational terminology layer helps to maintain details that can easily get lost as data is manipulated and transferred between systems. Essentially, when done right, terminology serves as the connective tissue, linking terms, codes, and other data, to enable a more complete picture of a given patient or population.IMO, 4d ago

The topic of ‘big data’ and in particular, the opportunity for data analytics in examining large volumes of data to innovate and drive change in the rehabilitation sector, was a recurring theme at the conference. The proliferation of personal devices and wearable technology, and the pooling of data within consortia of aligned providers, is generating a mass of data, that will require new industry standards or protocols for standardisation of data format in order to facilitate integrated analytics and create a sufficiently robust dataset for precision medicine and predictive outcomes. For compensators, big data analytics offers a future with better returns on rehabilitation investment and better claims forecasting.TECHTELEGRAPH, 19d ago

Complexity also impacts internal policy and regulatory compliance; strict regulations akin to GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) are being adopted worldwide, making analysis and classification more difficult without the help of an unstructured data management solution. Furthermore, data sovereignty regulations impose restrictions on physical data location and data flows, requiring organizations to adequately segment access to resources by location and identify and geo-fence impacted data sets. Solutions that support these regulatory frameworks and are capable of handling data privacy requests–like Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs), identifying and classifying personally identifiable information (PII), or even taking further action with the right to be forgotten (RtbF) and the right of erasure (RoE) requests–can radically simplify compliance operations.Gigaom, 9d ago
Profound legal, financial, and reputational implications may result if businesses do not address data protection and governance regulations correctly.

Effective tracking and data analysis are more and more needed as technology develops. Around 2.5 quintillion bytes of data is generated each year globally, yet without adequate management, this data is meaningless. Businesses must maintain consistency by gathering relevant market data. A professional data analyst with the appropriate data analysis tool is needed to separate the raw data and allow the organization to make decisions. Big data tools are popular for analyzing massive data sets to determine market trends and client preferences.ReadITQuik, 4d ago

The second issue is that of trust in the scientific record. While there are clearly broader societal trends here, those of us in the industry know that the challenges of both sloppy research and increasingly, outright fraud, manipulation, paper mills and reviewer rings are growing. We are all going to need a much stronger focus on integrity (do articles/journal adhere to both scientific and publishing norms?) and rigor (choice of experimental design, proper use of statistics, etc.). All of which is much more readily achieved through an open science framework in which data, code, methods, and peer review reports are shared openly.The Scholarly Kitchen, 4d ago
Further, it’s time to reckon with the fact that big platforms all collect and use data (almost) the same way. In very plain terms, we are in an information economy, dealing with data-infinity, accelerating into the digital age.

Access to the underlying identifiable and potentially re-identifiable pseudonymised electronic health record data are tightly governed by various legislative and regulatory frameworks and restricted by best practice. The data in OpenSAFELY are drawn from general practice data across England where TPP is the data processor. TPP developers initiate an automated process to create pseudonymised records in the core OpenSAFELY database, which are copies of key structured data tables in the identifiable records. These pseudonymised records are linked onto key external data resources that have also been pseudonymised via SHA-512 one-way hashing of NHS numbers using a shared salt. Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science developers and principal investigators holding contracts with NHS England have access to the OpenSAFELY pseudonymised data tables as needed to develop the OpenSAFELY tools. These tools in turn enable researchers with OpenSAFELY data access agreements to write and execute code for data management and data analysis without direct access to the underlying raw pseudonymised patient data and to review the outputs of this code. All code for the full data management pipeline—from raw data to completed results for this analysis—and for the OpenSAFELY platform as a whole is available for review at...The BMJ, 7d ago
Microbiome data comes in different shapes and sizes and as technology advances, scientists need to combine various types of microbiome data together to understand the real picture. Our Team was asked to design and develop a microbiome database by combining various microbiome data such as 16S, WGS and sample metadata. The main challenge was in modeling the data and figuring out the relationships between different entities. The bioinformatics processing methods of 16S and WGS were different, and it posed its own challenges during integration. Our team also modelled KEGG, RHEA and PATRICK public databases to make sure the annotation information was available in standardized formats for downstream analysis. The public sources have plenty of important information, but the lack of a common genomic standard ontology makes it difficult to digest the data. We overcame these challenges by carefully filtering only the data that supported the end goal.Zifo, 4d ago
Advances in data gathering, storage, and distribution technologies have far outpaced our advances in techniques for helping humans analyze, understand, and digest this information. This has led to an all-too-common data glut situation creating a strong need and a valuable opportunity for extracting knowledge from databases. Both researchers and application developers have been responding to that need. Knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) and data mining are areas of common interest to researchers in machine learning, pattern recognition, statistics, intelligent databases, knowledge acquisition, data visualization, high performance computing, and expert systems. KDD applications have been developed for astronomy, biology, finance, insurance, marketing, medicine, and many other fields. The papers in these proceedings focus on such problems.AAAI, 7d ago

Until today, accessing and using data located in disparate systems and locations – across cloud providers, data vendors and on-premises systems – has been a complex challenge. Customers have had to extract data from original sources and export it to a central location, losing critical business context along the way and recapturing it only through ongoing, dedicated IT projects, and manual effort. With today’s announcements, SAP Datasphere helps eliminate this hidden data tax, enabling customers to build a business data fabric architecture that quickly delivers meaningful data with business context and logic intact.CRN - India, 5d ago
A key challenge to incorporating genomic data is the lack of standards for NGS data generation, data sequencing/processing, data storage, and clinical decision support. Due to the frequent evolution of tools in NGS technology, it has been hard to establish standards. A lack of standards has led to difficulty in interoperability regarding data quality. These data management and analysis challenges can be overcome using AI/ML algorithms.Express Pharma, 4d ago
Application interoperability is necessary for organizations and people to work with each other seamlessly on the web. An interoperable data standard gives organizations a single authoritative source of truth while reducing operational overhead and simplifying infrastructure. Because each individual is empowered to control and update their own data within the framework, the information will be both accurate and up-to-date. Such a system also provides transparency and visibility into who has access to which data and what that data is being used for, which protects the individual’s data privacy rights and complies with modern privacy legislation.CoinGenius, 6d ago

Access to large volumes of high-quality labeled data is still a major roadblock in advancing artificial intelligence. An increase in the need for properly tagged data is virtually inevitable as the movement with Ng as its leader gathers traction. So, progressive AI professionals are rethinking how they classify their data. Due to the high cost and limited scalability of in-house labeling, they may soon outgrow it and be priced out of using external sources like pre-packaged data, data scraping, or establishing links with data-rich entities. The bottom conclusion is that high-quality input is essential for the real-world success of AI initiatives. And accuracy, that is, correct labeling, is required to improve the data quality and, by extension, the models it powers.MarkTechPost, 8d ago

Big data needs to be seen in conjunction with the method of extraction most commonly used, namely artificial intelligence and machine learning. One important change has been the utility of and the reliance on big data for a variety of processes. Large scale and high frequency data transmissions have become the dominant form of Stock Exchange trade -for example, high frequency trading- as well as for all our communication needs and how we access information and news. Data has become a raw material or resource; in short, data is the new oil. This has also dramatically changed the importance of tech companies and required many companies to shift from solely hardware production to hosting data infrastructure, data processing and software design. These companies act in cyberspace as the new sovereign states.E-International Relations, 7d ago
