health data commons bigdata

  • It’s pretty hard to do anything beyond a gift. It’s more like organ donation, where you don’t get to decide where the organs go. What I’m working on is basically a donation, not a conditional gift.
  • people’s attitudes toward risk and benefit change depending on their circumstances. Their own context really affects what they think is risky and what they think isn’t risky.
  • I believe that the early data donors are likely to be people for whom there isn’t a lot of risk perceived because the health system already knows that they’re sick. The health system is already denying them coverage, denying their requests for PET scans, denying their requests for access to care. That’s based on actuarial tables, not on their personal data. It’s based on their medical history.

  • We would like to see exactly how effective big computational approaches are on health data. The problem is that there are two ways to get there. One is through a set of monopoly companies coming together and working together. That’s how semiconductors work. The other is through an open network approach. There’s not a lot of evidence that things besides these two approaches work. Government intervention is probably not going to work.

    This overview summarises some of the most significant trends and drivers that will potentially affect health and social care services over the next 20 years. It also discusses the implications of these in order to provide an evidence base for future debate and thinking. It is aimed at policy-makers and health and social care leaders engaging in long-term, strategic thinking about how services need to change.

  • Google fusion tablesThis online database and mapping tool has become our default for producing quick and detailed maps, especially those where you need to zoom in. You get all the high resolution of google maps but it can open a lot of data - 100mb of CSV, for instance. The first time you try it, Fusion tables may seem a little tricky - but stick with it.
  • Tableau PublicIf you don't need the unlimited space of the professional edition, this is free - and means you can make pretty complex visualisations simply and easily with up to 100,000 rows. We use it when we need to bring different types of charts together - as in this map of top tax rates around the world, which also has a bar chart too.
  • After something simple - like a bar or line chart, or a pie chart? You'll find that Google spreadsheets (which you create from the documents bit of your Google account) can create some pretty nice charts - including the animated bubbles used by Hans Rosling's Gapminder. Unlike the charts API you don't need to worry about code -

  • Having said that, there is a simplicity and beauty to its bubble charts that no-one else has matched - and the word link graphic which we used below is a very useful way of showing how language links together. It's also linked to the Wordle site - which although now deeply unfashionable with designer types - is still a lovely way to show word frequency (if not much else).
  • Not, strictly speaking, a visualisation tool, Color Brewer - originally designed with federal funding and developed at Penn State - is really for choosing map colors, and is worth spending some time with if plan to make many more.
  • it's also worth checking out this DailyTekk piece which has even more options. The ones above aren't the only tools, just those we use most frequently. There are lots of others out there too, including: • Chartsbin A tool for creating clickable world maps• iCharts Specialises in small chart widgets• Geocommons Shares data and boundary data to create global and local mapsOh and there's also piktochart.com, which provides templates for those text/numbers viz there are a lot of around at the moment.

  • “The mixed model [using social media pages and official web sites] raises debate on a compelling issue: how to reconcile the requirements of accessibility with the innovative use of social media. Government web sites are strictly regulated. Private websites are not. Should one allow freer access to public information than the other?”
  • Another big issue concerning what observers are calling the ‘social cloud’ is information security.
  • Security emerged as the overwhelming concern among Hong Kong government officials at the FutureGov Forum, and Sophos research released in February gives officials good reason to worry. Spam and malware on social networking sites increased by 70 per cent in 2009, with Facebook the worst effected site.
