3. Data-Driven Research and Innovation
Numeric and categorical data can be used for
1) Statistical analysis
2) Computing risk factors
3) Estimating population-level risks
4) …

4. Data-Driven Research and Innovation
Or, for visualising
1) Time series or
2) Patient care paths
Series example: The subtle increase in laboratory measurements
between 2005 – 2018
Path example: Thousands of sleep apnea patients are treated
annually at Turku University Hospital. The diagram shows a snapshot
of the treatment path between first diagnosis, referral, visit and
getting a mouthpiece.

5. Data-Driven Research and Innovation
Example:
Automated pattern detection with machine learning to speed up clinical
diagnoses.
Motivation: If the patient can be diagnosed and treated < 10 minutes after
arrival in the ICU, the probability of surviving increases significantly.

6. Dataset for Machine Learning (58 057 slices)

7. First Machine Learning Results

8. More Pattern Detection (2D pathological images)
Example:
Automated pattern
detection with
machine learning to
improve the
accuracy of 2D
image classification

9. Crowdsourcing Research
Example 1 (right):
Junction Hackathon
2017, Health Tech
Challenge, Espoo,
Finland with
anonymized data.
Example 2 (next slides):
Invite-only Hackathon
for all public biobanks in
Finland with real
(pseydonymized) data

13. Data Lake is a component of Data Platform.
It is used as staging area between
operational systems and dedicated analysis
platforms, or directly as an in-house
computing platform.
Findata offers secure data sandboxes with
real-life data for scientific research. We take
care of security – and offer full freedom for
innovative research.
