Over 100 people participated in the event, with the intention of developing a prototype for a new Philips HealthSuite Digital Platform. The digital platform is set to be a [cloud-based infrastructure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truewellness) that's capable of collecting all sorts of data and making analyses based on its findings. Using this information as a base, one team imagined MediDash to be a platform that would ease the decision making process. For instance, when looking at an X-ray of a chest, a radiologist would be able to pull up other relevant data, revealing respiratory issues or other conditions that may provide insights on a current issue. MediDash's creators will be recognized at a SXSW Interactive event at the Philips Motivate Lounge, where the big data app will also be demoed. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Big Data Analytics:** Opportunity for developing apps that can collect and analyze vast amounts of data to improve decision-making processes in healthcare. - **Healthcare Technology Integration:** Opportunity to create platforms that integrate various digital tools and data sources to bridge the gap between professional and personal healthcare. - **Cloud-based Infrastructure:** Opportunity to leverage cloud-based infrastructures for efficient data collection, storage, and analysis in the healthcare industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Healthcare Technology:** Disruptive innovation possibilities include developing digital platforms and apps that improve healthcare data integration and decision-making. - **Big Data Analytics:** Disruptive innovation opportunities lie in the development of analytics tools specifically designed for the healthcare industry. - **Cloud Computing:** Cloud computing can disrupt the healthcare industry by providing scalable and secure infrastructure for storing and analyzing large amounts of healthcare data. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Holistic AI Health Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/medikarma.md) - [Comprehensive Health Care Suites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/technology-and-health.md) - [Action Plan-Focused Health Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hundred-health.md) - [Data-Driven Everyday Health Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloom-health-app.md) - [Integrated Wellness Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dash-wellness.md) - [Data-Driven Health Management Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iterate-health.md) - [Medical-Focused Nutrition Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heali.md) - [Goal-Oriented Health Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-app.md) - [Health Data Interpretation Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/health-data-interpretation.md)
