Machine Learning Tool To Fight Death With Data Science

Risk prediction platform predicts population health costs and prescribes patient care optimization. According to a Frost & Sullivan report, strong opportunities exist for Big Data in healthcare via population health management, clinical decision support, and the use of real-world data. In fact, solutions that directly impact care delivery and outcomes will be the focus over the next five years. Julie Skeen, Healthcare IT Strategist at Infogix, told Health IT Outcomes, "Big Data may not by itself be able to cure cancer or AIDS, but by applying analytics to human DNA and the DNA of major diseases is already producing positive results for patients. By looking at Big Data, medical researchers can help patients get the best treatment for the type of disease they have, minimize the negative impact of those treatments and in the end save lives."
