Opening Welcome
summary
Conference frames healthcare big data as practical urgency not hype, citing $2.7 trillion a year in US healthcare spending — almost 20% of GDP — and arguing that cost trends cannot continue. Examples name Nate Silver, IBM Watson and next‑gen sequencing, and emphasize EMRs, mobile monitors, and a live stream for wider reach. The central claim is that big data will turn the lights on to show what treatments work for whom, with Boston presented as the hub connecting universities, startups and VCs.
