Reacting to the challenges of data analytics in research
Every modern healthcare system professes to use and need data analytics to provide care for patients. The acceptance and use of data and tools to support this is different dependent on geography and culture. Conversations with healthcare providers in Russia, Europe and the US in recent months have enabled a magnifying glass to be applied… Read More
Expectations and predictions…
I look forward to the list of expectatons and predictions for 2014 coming out in the different press outlets, what books, films and music will we all fall for in 2014. But even more importantly for us as we move to 2014 is to do a little horizon scanning of what ‘elements’ will impact on… Read More

Presenting is like…

I presented at a life sciences industry conference last week and made a significant mistake, I got to the end… Read More
Last Call for Datatopia … Boarding Now!
‘Imagine a world’ is a phrase we are using quite a deal at the moment as we try to tell the story of how our information systems will come together in April 2014 to deliver an integrated solution for the performance management of clinical research.

Data Visualisation – a 19th Century Case Study
Did you know that the ‘father’ of Epidemiology also created Data Visualisation as we know it today. As we move towards our own “AppCentre” being live and the creation of more Apps within ODP that allow new and exciting insights to be possible from our data, I wanted to share with you an event that… Read More
