Big Data and the Future of Healthcare

BIG DA+A Every day technology makes new things possible, and some predict that it's just a matter of time until technology completely revolutionizes healthcare. Learn more: and the Future of Healthcare Some believe that medical diagnoses, general patient care, and medical practices are more expensive and inferior than they need to be. The The Problem with RESULT? HEALTHCARE Healthcare is often the practice of medicine, rather than the science of medicine, as most doctors medical decisions are based on: could diagnose a problem three different ways. Tradition This can be a serious issue. A doctor's limited medical knowledge V The patient's known symptoms and medical 40,000+ history. patients die in the ICU in the U.S. each year due to misdiagnosis. The solution? BIG DATA Some believe medicine can become more of a science, rather than practice, by relying on technology. By combining the data from many current and future devices and technologies, healthcare providers can have a greater insight into medicine. Current Future smart technology devices This technology could generate thousands of data points about a person's health, which could lead to faster and cheaper correct diagnoses. This will ultimately reduce costs, reduce physician workloads and improve patient As this field continues to progress, data capture and exploration will become increasingly accurate and comprehensive. care. Technology may replace up to 80% OF WHAT DOCTORS D0 HOW? Many of a doctor's responsibilities, such as: Testing Checkups Diagnosis Behavior Prescription Modification CAN BE DONE BETTER by sensors (passive and active data collection) and analytics. COMPUTERS are better than DOCTORS AT Organizing and recalling data. Integrating and balancing considerations of patient symptoms, history, demeanor, environmental factors, and population management guidelines. Having much lower error rates. 91% ACCURATE Medical assistants using a diagnostic knowledge system in clinical trials were 91% accurate without using labs, imaging or exams. Examples of Using BIG DATA IN HEALTHCARE Here's a look at how we can use devices in our every day lives to generate big data: HEART HEALTH ........ A patient could use the AliveCor The patient could then send those 365 This device would capture more "auto-diagnosed" ECGS to his doctor iPhone case to information than take an ECG the typical ECG at the doctor's office; every day for a year for less than $1 a test. for less than the it would also cost cost to have one less. done at the hospital. Other Examples CellScope Technology like this may not only provide preventative care. Machine-learning software can also identify abnormalities and predict health issues. Eyenetra This mobile phone add-on allows users to test for nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. This iPhone attachment is used to for the imaging of skin moles, rashes and more. What Does the Future Have In Store? As ideal as all of this sounds, technology hasn't made it possible quite yet. <> Consequently, doctors will become better at their Over time, more and more data can be gathered to identify pattems and physiological interactions. Doctors will learn to increasingly rely on technology and big data for triage, diagnosis and decision-making. jobs, health care costs will decrease, and patient care can improve.
