Results in brief

From Big data to new science and practical solutions

Data4Healthcare is a novel postdoctoral programme hosted at the University of Oulu, Finland. The programme was established to train 25 postdoctoral researchers who can work with advanced data technologies, such as big data analytics, machine vision, and artificial intelligence. In doing so, the programme aims to response a growing need: we simply do not have enough specialists who can turn today’s massive health datasets into useful knowledge that benefits people. With the help of the OuluHealth ecosystem, bringing together strong ICT know‑how, extensive molecular data, and one of the world’s most advanced digital hospital, the programme offers researchers an excellent environment to develop new solutions for future healthcare. The programme aims to: • Train a new generation of experts in data driven healthcare. • Support research that contributes to better diagnostics, prevention, and wellbeing. • Strengthen Europe’s capacity to use big data responsibly. • Connect research with clinical and real world needs. • Help build healthier, more resilient societies. • Enhance international and intersectoral mobility by enabling researchers to work across countries, disciplines, and sectors

Project objective

From Big data to new science and practical solutions (Data4Healthcare) is a novel postdoctoral programme hosted at an international and multidisciplinary research environment of University of Oulu (UOULU), Finland.The Data4Healthcare addresses the great demand for specialists in all fields who are capable of working with different types of massive datasets, understand different datasources and legislation related to the demand of turning them into useful information for decision making in healthcare. This is achieved by tackling some of the most important scientific problems by collaborating intensely with experts from different disciplines and stakeholders and educating well-qualified postdoctoral researchers to meet the requirements of the 21st century. Data4Healthcare trains 25 postdoctoral researchers to better exploit and develop the possibilities of big data in the EU and globally. The aim of the Data4Healthcare programme is to offer cutting-edge research, research training and career development for experienced researchers of any nationality in fields associated with big data, data analytics, machine vision and artificial intelligence. The Oulu ecosystem with world’s smartest hospital, strong background in eHealth and ICT (for example 6GFlagship as world’s first 6G research programme to develop the future of wireless communication technologies), research teams utilizing large molecular data, expertise in artificial intelligence and several companies locally and in collaboration offers unprecedented surroundings for the programme. The identified primary/focus themes of research in the programme in UOULU are: - Data as new resources in the society - Health data management practices in RDI collaboration - Technical tools in data management and processing
