-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Digital Health Oxford Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2013 12:09:14 +0000 From: Richard Harrington <richard.harrington2(a)dph.ox.ac.uk> To: secretary(a)ox.compsoc.net <secretary(a)ox.compsoc.net> Dear CompSoc, I'm writing to let you know about a meetup that I'm organising for Digital Health Oxford, on Monday 2nd December at 6pm in the University Club (on Mansfield Road, OX1 3SZ). I'm a postdoc working in the Department of Population Health, and have a background in bioinformatics and medical informatics, and set this group up as I know there are a lot of exciting projects in this field going on in and around Oxford, and wanted to provide the opportunity for people to find out what's going on, to learn from people with complementary skills and experiences, and to develop new ideas to make Oxford a hub of Digital Health. It is cross-disciplinary, with developers, clinicians, researchers, engineers, computer scientists, designers, entrepreneurs, and is also cross sector, with people from academia, healthcare and industry. There are a lot of great speakers lined up from both academia and industry, spanning a wide range of subjects from wearable devices, quantified self, telehealth, digital-omics, through to workshops on clinical-focused data systems and architecture. At the first meetup we'll have talks from Dr Chris Paton from the George Institute / University of Oxford, who will talk about the Heart Failure telehealth project he's been working on, and James Turnbull, co-founder and lead of the dev-team at Incuna who will talk about their experiences working as a digital healthcare agency with academia and the healthcare sectors. Following this will be an opportunity to chat with others over a few drinks either in the University Club, or else at the Kings Arms just up the road. I'm also working on sponsorship for some drinks at the event. It would help with the organisation if people wanting to attend could sign up at http://www.meetup.com/Digital-Health-Oxford/, else let me know by email/twitter, or just turn up on the day. If you've any questions, please get in touch. @dhealthoxford www.digitalhealthoxford.org <http://www.digitalhealthoxford.org/> Richie -- Dr. Richie Harrington BHFHPRG, Nuffield Department of Population Health, University of Oxford Old Road Campus Oxford OX3 7LF

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Part-time work opportunity for software developer Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2013 11:42:46 -0500 From: Elliott Verreault <elliott(a)stat.io> To: <president(a)ox.compsoc.net> Please forward as you see fit: --- Software developer, Stat.io - Cambridge or REMOTE Stat.io is building a web application that lets people use open data to improve decision-making. Our vision is to aggregate data from hundreds of open data portals, which can then be accessed in one place. You can see a demo video of the application here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=1BzbW36o1l4 The challenge is to understand millions of datasets from many different sources, from APIs to Excel files, and then provide an interface that allows users to find the data they're interested in. The main technologies we're using for data processing are Python and MySQL, with a bit of Redis and MongoDB for some simple queueing and logging respectively. We're open to using any technologies if it helps get us closer to our vision. For instance, there's a good chance that alternative data stores to MySQL would be a better fit for the problems we face. We're looking for a software developer to join us, part-time at a remuneration of £1000/month. If you're interested or have any questions, get in touch: contact(a)stat.io <mailto:contact@stat.io>. You can find out more about us on our website: http://www.stat.io/ --- Thank you very much, E -- *Elliott Verreault *Stat.io, Product Dev. *CAN* +1(581)998-2550 *UK* +44(0)7549652397 *Skype* elliott.verreault The search engine for the world's socio-economic data More info: http://stat.io <http://stat.io/> | Follow us: @stat_io <http://twitter.com/stat_io> Stat.io Ltd - Suite 84, Regis House, 23 King Street, Cambridge, United Kingdom CB1 1AH
