Topic 1:Sharing from Department of Health Technology and Informatics, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Biomedical Big Data Analytics
Synopsis:
Big data becomes the hottest topic in many fields, especially biomedical disciplines. The analysis of big data is challenging because the data is not only large in size but also complex in structural organization. One of the representative big data examples is Electronic Health Record (EHR) database, which provides a digital and structural form of patient records and supports the clinical decision, patient care and patient advice. EHR database is still an under-explored big data resource that has hosted a large number of cases with complete recovery, good prognosis, reliable diagnostic tests and effective treatments. This talk reports and discusses some big data studies led by the speaker. The themes of these studies cover novel EHR search engine, disease-specific imaging probe profiling and effective neuronal connectivity. These EHR-based biomedical applications thoroughly reveal the current trend and new perspective of big data computing and intelligence.

Dr. Wong has recently been appointed to be the Director of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University – Huawei Biomedical Big Data Laboratory and the Senior Consultant of the Hong Kong Science Park Incorporation.
Topic 2:
AI - Atlas Intelligent Cloud Hardware Platform for healthcare
Synopsis:
AI offers a number of advantages over traditional analytics and clinical decision-making techniques. Learning algorithms can become more precise and accurate as they interact with training data, allowing humans to gain unprecedented insights into diagnostics, care processes, treatment variability, and patient outcomes. Huawei Atlas designs an intelligent scheduling platform that enables resource disaggregation, unified orchestration and scheduling, and on-demand provisioning, improving resource utilization by over 50%, which all help healthcare toward the path of AI.
