Big data in health – IMI’s HARMONY project

On 19 June 2018, the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) held a breakfast debate at the European Parliament in Brussels on big data and IMI’s HARMONY project.

The event, kindly hosted by Soledad Cabezón Ruiz MEP, featured a discussion with health and big data experts, policymakers, and researchers. Through the example of the IMI project – which aims to improve the care of patients with hematologic cancer – the debate touched upon challenges and opportunities of using big data and eHealth services in healthcare systems.
