Red.es, in collaboration with the Secretary of State for Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence, organizes the fourth edition of the Aporta Challenge. Like other years, it seeks to identify and recognize new ideas and prototypes that drive improvements in a specific sector through the use of open data. This year the focus will be on health and wellness.
The objective is to encourage the talent, technical competence and creativity of the participants while promoting the direct reuse of data published by various public bodies.
Why is it important to promote the use of open data in the health and wellness sector?
If there is one sector where there has been a demand for data in the last year, it has been healthcare, due in part to the global COVID-19 pandemic. However, open data related to health and well-being not only serves to inform citizens in an exercise of transparency, but is also essential as a basis for solutions that drive improvements in health care, the patient experience and services that are offered in order to ensure a better quality of life. Open data has the ability to make essential public services more efficient, effective and inclusive, which in turn contributes to reducing inequality.
Aware of this, the European Commission has among its priorities the creation of a European data space in the health sector. For its part, the Spanish Government has begun actions to establish a data lake sanitary– which will make a large amount of raw data available to researchers so they can analyze it, make predictions, or spot trends. The use of this data, anonymised or in an aggregated form, can generate great improvements that some autonomies are already taking advantage of, such as Andalusia, that works, with the collaboration of Red.es, in the implementation of an advanced analytics system based on Big Data technologies to improve the quality of life of chronic patients.
