Transforming big data into computational models for personalized medicine and health care

چکیده
Health care systems generate a huge volume of different types of data. Due to the complexity and challenges inherent in studying medical information, it is not yet possible to create a comprehensive model capable of considering all the aspects of health care systems. There are different points of view regarding what the most efficient approaches toward utilization of this data would be. In this paper, we describe the potential role of big data approaches in improving health care systems and review the most common challenges facing the utilization of health care big data.

Personalized medicine is reshaping the biomedical landscape. Where Big Data meets Big Health, it has been hailed as the next leap forward in health care, and is both a subject of health law and an object of innovation policy. Humans are inherently variable, and closely matching treatment to patients has the potential to save and extend lives by suggesting better treatments, to avoid unnecessary...
متن کاملClinical Practice Guidelines Formalization for Personalized Medicine
Clinical guidelines are important means to improve quality of health care while limiting cost and supporting the medical staff. They are written as free text with tables and figures. Transforming them into a formal, computer-processable representation is a difficult task requiring both computer scientist skills and medical knowledge. In this paper the authors describe a CDSS designed to assist ...
متن کاملHealth 2050: The Realization of Personalized Medicine through Crowdsourcing, the Quantified Self, and the Participatory Biocitizen
The concepts of health and health care are moving towards the notion of personalized preventive health maintenance and away from an exclusive focus on the cure of disease. This is against the backdrop of contemporary public health challenges that include increasing costs, worsening outcomes, 'diabesity' epidemics, and anticipated physician shortages. Personalized preventive medicine could be cr...

The expectations of point-of-care technologies (POCT) are being increasingly shaped by the patient-centric narrative of P5 (predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and populationbased) medicine. Shifting the focus of our healthcare system to a personalized and preemptive approach will depend partly on the availability of field-deployable measurement technologies that provide rapid ...
