For the sake of people’s lives. Analysis of “big data” in health care

“Big data” save lives

Imagine the opportunity to analyze the entire genome of one person per day and start individual treatment immediately. Advances in the field of data analysis, the day may soon come. And we will see significant steps in this direction in 2015

Initially viewed as something narrowly scientific, “big data” have now become a practical thing, which is able to save lives. To collect, manage and understand the meaning of a huge amount of patient data allows you to identify trends, which previously could not be imagined without the technological advances of recent years.

A growing number of medical institutions and professionals implementing new techniques, including the use of devices with advanced network capabilities for remote monitoring of patients at home. This not only increases the level of patient satisfaction, but produces data sources for analysis broader trends which might lead to new discoveries in medicine.

Take the example described above: today on the analysis of the genome of one person can take up to a month. The challenge Intel, in collaboration with ecosystem partners and developers is to make sure that by 2020, these operations were carried out in one day.

This is a difficult task, but thanks to intelligence data, we hope to make significant progress in this direction in the coming year. In 2015, we will work with industry partners to operationalize the concept by transforming the latest innovations into practical solutions for medical institutions.

Comments

Duncan Wilson (DuncanWilson), director of the ICRI Cities of Intel Corporation in the region EMEA: City planners through technology can create a “living laboratory” for evaluating the effectiveness of existing initiatives. In Europe, special attention is given to how to use modern technology to make life better in urban areas. The use of monitoring stations to monitor air pollution is very expensive. That is why their number is quite limited. In distributed networks, in which different devices can be used as sensors, costs are significantly reduced, which allows the station to the large number of places, including secondary roads or school grounds. This will allow the city authorities to better manage urban traffic control and air quality.

Our urban infrastructure controls itself. We get a large amount of data that quantitatively measure our work in the city. We have also begun to establish public data banks, which are small and medium-sized businesses can use to offer new services. However, we are experiencing a shortage of certain types of data. We are trying to find ways to motivate building owners more actively exchange information available to them to ensure that the benefits could be obtained as local companies, as well as the community at large.

Genevieve Bell (GenevieveBell), Head of User Experience Research Corporation Intel: In the near future we will be able to observe the active development of “smart” cities. Companies will have to pay attention not only to questions of profitability, but also consider the interests of residents. It will be necessary to control the everyday processes and optimize them for the benefit of everyone who works and lives in cities.
