DESCRIPTION:Understanding health complexity is the definite scientific cha
 llenge of the twenty-first century medicine. Biomedical systems have often
  multi-scale characteristics in terms of time\, space\, and organisation t
 hat are detected from noisy and incomplete observations. Today multi-scale
  and complex biomedical data are gathered and analysed in a rather simple 
 way that is prone to missing the opportunity to uncover combinations of pr
 edictive disease profiles and comorbidities. We can observe what happens a
 t almost all scales\, from the whole organism down to the molecular level\
 ; however\, putting things together in order to obtain complete understand
 ing is much more difficult and less developed. In this talk I will discuss
  the importance of data mining and modelling in understanding comorbiditie
 s. I will show examples on cancer\, bone diseases and diabetes.
