Data Discovery and Self-Service Analytics.


Details
Time is almost up - have you RSVP'd already?
As always we have a couple of very interesting presentations
An introduction to data discovery and self-service analytics - Concepts and tools. Uli Bethke, Co-founder, Sonra
Data discovery tools are a new breed of application that allow data workers to apply complex transformations to data sets from a browser GUI. All this without the involvement of IT or writing a single line of code. This is useful for data preparation for data scientists or when data sets have not yet been cleansed and loaded into a data warehouse. As part of the presentation I will answer the following questions: What is data discovery? How is it different from business intelligence? What are common use cases and popular tools?
Demo of Datameer - Uli Bethke and John Mulhall, HUG Ireland Community Manager
John will present the Datameer tool and Uli will run a demo of the tool showing some of its basic functionality and features of interest.
Self-service analytics at Icon plc - Michael Phillips PhD, Director Product Innovation, ICON plc
Using TIBCO Spotfire’s very accessible API, we have built a standard analytics template for the central monitoring of central nervous system (CNS) clinical trials. CNS trials have a relatively poor success rate, not least because it is difficult to measure their clinical endpoints. Clinical outcome assessments (scales), and particularly clinician-reported outcomes (ClinROs), are often selected as primary outcome measures in CNS trials, and a small number of errors in these somewhat subjective instruments can profoundly affect study results. Using three key risk indicator (KRI) themes, a standardized clinical data model, a scales rule “engine,” and interactive visualizations, we have built a flexible analytics template that can deploy any CNS indication for any set of scales and with study-specific KRIs. The scales rule engine is a self-service analytics tool, accommodating complex scale summation rules and study-specific KRI requirements without any need for additional programming or template development. In this presentation, we will demonstrate the principles of the self-service scales rule engine and the use of scale-based KRIs for the effective monitoring of ClinRO methodological consistency.
Finally, we have an overview of the Predict 2015 conference by Ahmed Chebbi, International Business Development Executive with Creme Global.
