Every three seconds, someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia. Why haven’t we found a cure? It’s a complicated disease that begins sometimes 20 years before symptoms appear―meaning early detection is key. In part 1 of our five-part series, hear about a one-of-a-kind study with DZNE that is collecting and analyzing the data of 30,000 participants over 30 years. The goal is to uncover the root causes and early markers of dementia, leading to preventive measures and treatments that could improve the quality of life for the millions of people affected by the disease.

Data is driving cutting-edge medical research, but how do we balance the need to ensure patient privacy with the need to find answers to pressing problems like Alzheimer’s? In part 2 of our five-part series, learn how HPE and DZNE are embarking on a new challenge to change the perception of data sharing and privacy ethics, with the aim of bringing private and public sectors together to find a cure for the disease―benefiting generations to come.

Analyzing 30,000 patients over three decades can take as much as 500 petabytes of data storage. In part 3 of our five-part series, hear how HPE and DZNE are bringing HPE’s Memory-Driven Computing petascale environment to researchers and doctors at the edge, enabling them to develop more individualized Alzheimer’s therapies across patient populations.

Data is king, but data privacy is headline news. How can we protect individuals’ healthcare data while ensuring researchers have access to the data they need to find cures and treatments? In part 4 of our five-part series, our team of experts look at the global challenges of data sharing and data security―and why technology and new business models are critical to finding the right balance.

While we’ve made incredible progress in medicine over the past 100 years, data-driven computing is giving rise to new optimism in the race to cure diseases like Alzheimer’s. With more and more breakthroughs in precision medicine, watch the final part in our series and hear how DZNE experts say new prevention and treatment therapies may be within reach in 10 years.

Host Daisy McAndrew gathers a global team of experts to discuss how HPE and partners are leveraging high-performance computing power and data capacity to help accelerate recovery and advance COVID-19 research. Author and Aspirational Futures CEO Sally Eaves and HPE’s Dr. Eng Lim Goh and Peter Ungaro share how technologies including artificial intelligence and machine learning are helping researchers better understand the disease and accelerate the race to find treatments and ultimately a cure. They look at the Open Research Dataset, the Open COVID Pledge, and Tech for Good and their role in bringing together researchers across the globe to work together on a common goal.

Explore how the power of “yes we can” is helping HPE bring critical edge-to-cloud technologies to businesses, schools and the front-lines in these challenging times. Hear from Drew Lentz from Frontera Consulting on how the pandemic has changed the way we interact and depend on wireless technology. From curbside pick up to cashless transactions, secure and remote wireless technology has a critical role in digital transformation. Michael Dickman, GM and SVP, Switching for Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company, discusses how they are doing everything they can to help serve the community and address networking challenges. And Eric Shrum, Technology Director, Advance School District in Missouri, reveals how Aruba helped provide his district with secure, outdoor wifi to keep students connected with their teachers and their studies.
