Role
of Big Data and Analysis in Healthcare
Have you ever wondered if you don’t need to visit a hospital or a doctor
for the treatment regarding a disease or even if it is suspected right on time?
Think about the largest car company in the world! It’s Uber, which
doesn’t even own a single car. The biggest medical systems in the future will
own no hospitals. It’s going to be devices which will monitor a patient’s
health simultaneously for 24 hours a day. It will bring about the signs of an
emerging disease and alert the patient to act on it immediately.
Now big data and analytics do just the right thing for you!
Big data and Analytics are going to help by gaining a deeper insight
into a patient’s health and give exceptional results.
Let us make it simpler and understand how it actually works.
For example, a patient is suffering from diabetes and has also symptoms
like irritation and stress. Now, Big Data and Analytics are going to help his
physician in a way that he would have patient’s 360° view of his healthcare
history. This will include his:-
1. Diet
2. Appointments
3. Exercise
4. Lab test results.
5. Vitals
6. Prescriptions
7. Treatments
8. Allergies
Now based on the lab test reports, eating habits and psychological
condition of the patient, a doctor can personalize a health wellness program
for his patient. Electronic gadgets will play an important role in a patient’s
treatment. The devices for example :- Mobile, smart watch, tablet or a laptop
will keep a track of patient’s all physical activities and share information
with his physician, as the patient follows his health wellness program. Now a
patient’s health information will help his physician to make a change in his
health wellness program as and when required.
Big Data and Analytics will revolutionize the healthcare sector in the
future to come by creating algorithms to detect and treat diseases.
