Andrew Morris, director of Health Data Research UK, closed his keynote speech at this month’s eHealth Expo Queensland with a headline from the Wall Street Journal.
The new Einsteins will be the scientists who share: from cancer to cosmology. Researchers could race ahead by working together online and in the open.
It well-illustrated the thrust of his presentation, and the goals of the organisation he heads: The gathering and sharing, as widely as possible, of data on the health of individuals – suitably protected — will bring enormous benefits and efficiencies in healthcare.
