Lausanne Open Data Meetup Special Edition

New practices and technologies, such as digital medical records and high-throughput sequencing, open new ways for medical doctors and scientists to investigate human biology and diseases. However, this new model raises many fundamental questions. What are the opportunities and how can the medical data be handled in a way that the rights of patients are preserved.
