  One field of application of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence that is
receiving increasing attention is the biomedical domain. The huge volume of
data that is customary generated by hospitals and pharmaceutical companies all
over the world could potentially enable a plethora of new applications. Yet,
due to the complexity of such data, this comes at a high cost. We here review
the activities of the research group composed by people of the Universidad
Polit\'ecnica de Madrid and the Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro de
Majadahonda, Spain; discuss their activities within two European projects,
IASIS and BigMedilytics; and present some initial results.
