DATA2PERSON - Big Data & Health

NWO has opened the call for applications DATA2PERSON – Big Data & Health. This call,  as part of the COMMIT2DATA programme, aims to contribute to the development of effective, efficient, and responsible personal empowerment methods for a future healthy society. Consortiums of at least two academic departments and at least one public/private partner can apply for funding.

COMMIT2DATA is focused on strengthening knowledge, valorization, and dissemination of data science, stewardship, and technology for the top sectors. This programme places great emphasis on monitoring and community management using a monitoring and dissemination plan. A focused approach is needed to shift the boundaries of contemporary data science and big-data solutions. This call is a partnership between COMMIT2DATA, NWO Domain Science (ENW) and Domain Social Sciences and Humanities (SGW), Applied and Engineering Sciences (TTW), National Initiative Brain & Cognition (NIHC), The Netherlands Organisation for Health Research and Development (ZonMW), and the Ministry of Economic Affairs. The call is formulated and rolled out in consultation with the Ministry of Health, Welfare, and Sport (VWS).

The focus of this programme is on the way in which Data Science can make a contribution to a personalized offer and possibilities for the self/joint-management of the individual health situation.

In addition to Data Science, the input of other relevant scientific disciplines towards this call is necessary. These are disciplines that can identify and articulate the issues relating to this call and support the development of a solution-oriented approach or test their effectiveness and feasibility in practice.
