Workshop "Hackathon #1" (part of #dataforbetterhealth initiative)

We invite you to "Workshop Hackathon #1".  The workshop introduces the first of a series of hackathons, each with a different dataset from the National Institute for Sickness and Invalidity Benefit (RIZIV/INAMI)). Attendees of the workshop can take part in the hackathon, which will take place in January 2019. The hackathons can identify the obstacles in the FAIR use of data, and help formulate, test and implement solutions to these obstacles. The initiators are convinced that invitees can use these hackathons to discover and use the potential of these data for their own objectives. This includes scientific research, but also a more effective development of medicines and medical devices, better patient care, improvement and support of clinical trials, support for personalized care, support for prevention, patient-oriented care, and lower medical costs. Invitees are primarily, but non-exhaustive: all service providers and knowledge institutes active in the field of health care (including drug development, development of medical devices, ...), health economics, information management, privacy and safety, legislation (colleges, ...) both public and private organizations, profit and non-profit (data science communities, open data communities, open knowledge communities, ...) organizations.
