You can now enjoy the slide deck from this ses­sion, which took place at the 2013 Sharp­Brains Vir­tu­al Sum­mit (Sep­tem­ber 19–20th).

How can Big Data help upgrade brain care?  Cur­rent stan­dards of brain and men­tal care often rely on tri­als of insuf­fi­cient scale, which not only lim­its our abil­ity to diag­nose, pre­vent, treat and per­son­al­ize care but often leads to incor­rect con­clu­sions and unde­sir­able results. What tools and data are becom­ing avail­able via large-scale web-based and mobile appli­ca­tions, and how can researchers, inno­va­tors and prac­ti­tion­ers con­nect with these initiatives?
