How Data and Artificial Intelligence Can Help Improve Healthcare

Unlocking patterns and trends in medical data will be integral to solving healthcare's most pressing problems in predictive and preventative care. In 1854, Dr. John Snow mapped hundreds of homes in London to determine that the cholera outbreak originated at a single water pump. Dr. Snow's work was the birth of modern medical data analysis. Coupling those analytics with artificial intelligence, wearable medical devices, cloud computing, and aggregated and integrated patient data will soon provide you with real-time knowledge to improve patient care and outcomes at the individual and macro-levels of society. Physicians at the University of Miami Health System are already using predictive analytics software that scans and interprets thousands of patients' medical records to uncover trends.
