Join us as we mark the end of the Save Data project, a three year project funded by VLAIO. This seminar will showcase our achievements and insights and be followed by a celebratory closing gala. Prior to the seminar, the Save Data Advisory Board will convene for its final meeting.
Over the course of this project, we have worked with dozens of companies, non-profits and academic institutions on solutions for gathering and using health-related data.
It’s time to celebrate all those inroads and to share the results of this journey. The day also includes outstanding keynote talks and engaging panel discussions, all exploring the transformative power of health data and the path forward in utilizing its full potential to improve patient care and save lives.
