BigIris  -  leverages the enormous medical image/data repository under development at DICOMdb.org by applying advanced analytics and data mining methodologies to distill medical data into actionable information and knowledge... to revolutionize the quality of healthcare world-wide. Our goal is to give providers of medical imaging services the information they need to be better, to spend less, and to be more efficient. Cutting-edge technologies like cloud computing, Google's gigabit broadband, and advanced toolsets like Hadoop, Splunk, Cloudera, and Pentaho power this paradigm-refining venture - - and enable BigIris to apply Big Data harvesting and analytics in order to present useful conclusions to the worldwide medical community. BigIris and DICOMdb - preparing for a future of health care that will be vastly different from what we know today.
