On October 4
th
2016, as a part of Week of Health & Innovation
(www.whinn.dk)
in Odense, Denmark, the Copenhagen Institute
for Futures Studies is preparing a conference on “Data & Genomics:
Realizing the Nordic “Data Goldmine”.
Health will be disrupted by the potential of molecular and digital data,
especially when in combination with advances in the Internet of
Things (IoT), 3D printing, robotics and nano technology.
Realising the Nordic “Data Goldmine”
Precision medicine and personalised health depends on good data and genomics
The Nordic Countries* have collected a vast amount of social and
health data that can be considered a research, development and
commercial goldmine, and be applied to both public and personal
health. But we do not see this data used enough; what are the
challenges and obstacles that are limiting its application?

• What are the possibilities with Genomics & Data for health?
• What do we need to develop and/or change to make genomics more applicable?
• How do we “set the data free” so it can be used efficiently and effectively?
• Can the Nordic Region become a driver for data-driven genomic health models?
The conference will be organised around the following four sessions:
• Genomics, ICT & Data in Present and Future Health
• Danish/ Nordic Health and Social Data
• Activating the Danish Data Goldmine for Health and Genomics – who are the enablers?
• Data Ownership
