Autoscribe Informatics is presenting a webinar designed for anyone involved in sampling to monitor sanitary conditions in food beverage production and other industries. Taking place on Tuesday 19 July 2016 at 4 PM in the UK, 5 PM in Europe, 8 AM Pacific Standard Time and 11 AM Eastern Daylight Time, the webinar introduces Autoscribe’s Environmental Monitoring Solution. This module for the Matrix Gemini LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) is perfect for the management of environmental sampling of production and storage areas by uniquely linking sampling point locations, test results and corrective action plans in one easy to use graphical environment.

Evaluating health information systems/technology is no easy task. Eivazzadeh et al. recognize that, as well as the fact that developing evaluation frameworks presents its own set of challenges. Having looked at several different models, the researchers wished to develop their own evaluation method, one that taps into “evaluation aspects for a set of one or more health information systems — whether similar or heterogeneous — by organizing, unifying, and aggregating the quality attributes extracted from those systems and from an external evaluation framework.”

PHEMI, developer of enterprise-grade big data privacy, governance, and management solutions, today released a new white paper, Healthcare Big Data Warehouse in the Cloud. Produced in conjunction with healthcare cloud computing firm, ClearDATA, the white paper illustrates the benefits cloud-based big data warehouses offer healthcare organizations.

Many next-generation sequencing (NGS) data analysis frameworks exist, from Galaxy to bpipe. However, Hatakeyama et al. at the University of Zürich noted a distinct lack of a framework that 1. offers both web-based and scripting options and 2. "puts an emphasis on having a human-readable and portable file-based representation of the meta-information and associated data." In response, the researchers created SUSHI (Support Users for SHell-script Integration). They conclude that "in one solution, SUSHI provides at the same time fully documented, high level NGS analysis tools to biologists and an easy to administer, reproducible approach for large and complicated NGS data to bioinformaticians."

Think back to a time when you first learned to do anything new. Chances are it took longer than expected and the resulting product was less than prize worthy. However, once experience and expertise had been attained, the time it took to accomplish those same tasks had diminished while the quality had markedly improved.

Agilent Technologies Inc. and iLab Solutions, LLC today announced they have signed a definitive agreement under which Agilent will acquire substantially all of the assets of iLab, a cloud-based solution for core laboratory management.

Cooperation on Artificial Intelligence complements its initiatives on Enterprise Imaging, Big Data and Clinical Analytics, to provide an e-Health platform for Integrated Care and Population Health Management.
