               The nearly 25 years of history of electronic patient data in Hospital Authority (HA)’s Clinical Management System has been
               an invaluable tool for patient care and service management, but it also represents a treasure trove of big data. HA has taken
               steps to unlock the value of this data with tools such as CDARS, but we are now exploring new and innovative ways to use
               the new techniques of Big Data Analytics, Visualisation and Machine Learning to make positive realtime enhancements to
               clinical care and workflow.

               How Could Big Data Improve Our Life and Human Well-being?

               Technologies in mobility, Internet of Things, client-cloud architectures, affordable massive data storage, broadband
               networks and heterogeneous data, etc. have created an unprecedented explosion in data known as “Big Data”.  Big Data
               is characterised by its “Volume”, “Velocity”, “Variety” and “Veracity”. Deriving “Value” from Big Data leads us to the field of
               “Analytics”, which aims to understand the data and deriving intelligence to make evidence-based, optimised and insightful
               decisions. This presentation introduces The Chinese University of Hong Kong’s initiative to embark on the inter-disciplinary
               pursuit of Big Data Decision Analytics. In particular, we describe a spectrum of our work related to our lives and well-being,
               including visual analytics for global cancer incidence, use of wearables for monitoring well-being, logistics management in   Wednesday, 17 May
               healthcare, technologies for augmentative and alternative communication, as well as Big Data Analytics for healthy ageing.
