Health care professionals are building up data collections as part of their daily practice. Smart re-use of these data supports diagnosis and targeted treatment of patients. These data could also be a basis for research and prevention. Furthermore, pooling data with colleagues can take health care and prevention to a next level. But how to exploit the full potential? This summer course provides you with practical knowledge and skills to get the best out of your data sets. You will learn to use state-of-the-art data analysis and visualization tools.
