Upcoming Discussion on Big Data and HealthCare
September 26, 2012
GigaOM recently reported on an upcoming round table discussion between several experts in the field of big data analytics in the article, “Using Big Data to Reinvent Health Care.”
According to the article, the panel of experts GigaOM Analyst Jody Ranck and LexisNexis HPCC Systems Data Scientist Joe Prichard will use real world examples to address how big data services are being used in early detection of diseases as well as how to detect fraud through big data software.
When providing some background on the topic, the article states:
“Today’s health care system is challenged in managing data and costs. From the rise of an aging population to the increase of fraud, waste and abuse, health care organizations are challenged to efficiently maximize their resources for legitimate patients who need care. New health care legislation brings challenges and opportunities for health care organizations and their patients. With health care costs projected to spiral into the trillions of dollars in the next few years, many organizations are applying the advances in IT, mobile and other forms of technology to the problem of containing costs and finding new and innovative ways to care for patients.”
Big data reinventing health care is a remarkable claim. This should be an interesting discussion to keep tabs on.
