Maker Party: Health Data

June 13th, 2015
TCube, 8/9 Westmoreland St, Dublin 2 (next to Palace pub in Temple Bar)

The overall aim is to prove that health data can be more useful if it's accessible and available for reuse in open formats:

Goal: to explore and identify the benefits of making health data sources open and accessible

  1. increase transparency and accessibility of hospital data (i.e. waiting lists) through data liberation;
  2. apply data to Open Street Map (OSM);
  3. develop a strategy to make this information and the whole subject known to the wider public.

We will be joined via video link by Daniel "Chino" Carranza, who will share successes of making health care data usable, useful and used in Uruguay.

Open Knowledge Ireland was set up with the purpose of helping citizens to access and to put in use high value, meaningful machine readable data sets generated by the Irish Government.

If you work in public or private sectors, if you're a developer, designer, journalist, academic, policy maker, creative thinker, civil servant, entrepreneur or just an Average Joe, you're more than welcome to join us, contribute and participate.

The initiative is championed by the Open Knowledge Ireland in collaboration with Open Street Maps.
