Science & Innovation Forum – Pros & Cons of Big & Small Data in RBC Biology Followed by: Perspectives on A New Innovation in RBC Processing and Storage
Please note: AABB reserves the right to make updates to this program.
When: On Demand
Presented by Hemanext®, an AABB Premium Corporate Partner.
Big data involves information that is generated and analyzed on a vast scale. Omix technologies, for example, have helped us recognize emerging patterns in metabolism and red blood cell biology that can potentially identify and modify physiologic alterations before they manifest in large populations, e.g., trauma patients.
Small data is personalized, patient centered, and can provide big insights for the individual. Small data sets are easy to collect, analyze and understand and address specific aspects of a disease or condition. Small data is also helpful in making focused and rapid decisions based on insights and experience.
This program will describe the two kinds of data; the pros and cons of each in patient diagnosis and treatment. Examples and case studies will be provided. In addition, we will explore insights on the implementation of a new innovation in red blood cell transfusion therapy, Hemanext ONE® Processing and Storage System.
After attending this program, participants should be able to:
- Define the difference between big and small data.
- Identify whether big data can be used for individual patients.
- Discuss the appropriate use of small data.
- Identify how to generate valuable knowledge using big and small data.
- Discover insights on a new innovation in red blood cell storage.
Intended Audience: CEOs, COOs, Directors, Donor Recruitment Staff, Facilities that perform molecular testing, Hospital Blood Banks, Hospitals, Immunohematology Reference Labs (IRL’s), Laboratory Staff, Medical Directors, Nurses, Perfusionists, Physicians, Research Scientists, Residents/Fellows, Scientists, Technologists, Transfusion Safety Officers
