Cancer: a group of diseases involving abnormal cell
growth with the potential to invade or spread to other
parts of the body
Synonym: Malignant Tumor
Big Data: often refers simply to the use of predictive
analytics or other certain advanced methods to extract
value from data.

Editor's Notes

  • #8 A suit of applications for Oncologists that help them to capture data easily. Compiled data allows drug makers to make more precise trials History: build by 2 IT guys, they met expert in the domain + oncologists (1000 meetings in 6 months) Investment: 130 M$ from google venture Business Model: Selling software to cancer cancer and distibuting data to drug maker
  • #9 History: more bacteria than cells in your body (3 to 10x). And they can influence your cells and then cancer development. Mostly in skin, intestin, mouth, lungs, Investment: Get 350K via Crowdfunding (Indiegogo) + 4,5M$ Business Model: Sell microbiome sequencing for 90$
  • #10 70 entités en France qui vendent (ou pas) leur capacité d’hebergement
  • #12 History: After a recurred cancer a doctor send a biopsy to Foundation Medicine. Analysis revealed 200 genes with known link to this cancer and 4 « actionnable mutations. Predict 4 drugs undergoin trials Investment: IPO and get 1B$ investment by Roche (biggest cancer drug maker) Business Model: Sell sequencing and report
  • #13 5 appli payantes 30,000 professionnel par jours utilisent
  • #15 Predicting patterns thanks to multiple points of data
  • #16 Lots of tumors are diagnosed thnaks to medical imaging
  • #17 Histoire: When a mole shape change rapidly, this may be the sign of a malignous tumor. Traction: 200,000 downloads. The only one to get CE mark Investment: 4M$ with a dermatological pharma company among investor (LEO Pharma) Business Model: 2€/month
  • #18 History: Imagine a surgeon need to plan an liver cancer operation thanks to 2D images. Made in Strasbourg Business Model: sell modelisation to surgeons Investment:
