i2b2 All Hands Meeting
Eric Perakslis PhD presented his work on i2b2 in the J&J context and beyond with tranSMART. Interestingly, this i2b2 instance is hosted on the Amazon EC2 cloud. He had the temerity to run a live demo which worked flawlessly. Good Karma! Also the involvement of tranSMART with the Innovative Medicines Initiative in Europe with significant uptake by pharmaceutical industry (i.e. GSK/ECLIPSE, AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Novartis) was intriguing and encouraging.
His slide show is available here.
Other i2b2 business reviewed including the very success i2b2/NCBO tutorial last week at AMIA in San Francisco and the other SHRINE implementations that are occurring nationally.
