Healthy Communities Data Summit: Talking About Big Data and California Communities

We’re excited to be supporting the Healthy Communities Data Summit on June 11!

The upcoming conference at the University of California-Los Angeles will bring together people working with Big Data to improve health and wellness in California communities.

The Healthy Communities Data Summit is hosted by the Foundation for Healthcare Innovation and Health 2.0, and sponsored by the California HealthCare Foundation, The California Wellness Foundation and the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health, home to kidsdata.org.

Kidsdata.org’s data manager, Regan Foust, will showcase the site on the panel “New Frontiers for California: Datasets and Resources in Health Care,” which highlights data resources driving the future of public health, new health care startups, and new collaborations.

Here are more highlights from the conference:

• Live demonstrations from new companies and newly captured health data.
• Announcements of state-level projects, case studies, best practices, and lessons learned from access to free government data.
• A full day of high profile panels outlining patient health challenges and needs, as illustrated by timely, relevant health data.
• Publication of new open data challenge efforts and new prize efforts catalyzing citizen innovation efforts & more.
