Big Data to improve outcomes [ENGLISH]

Chain pharmacies, insurance payers and government health programs have collected a tremendous amount of drug prescription and therapeutic outcomes data over the years, which will help them better inform which cures are more effective overall. 2017 will be the year where personal real-time biometric data from a myriad of devices will find its way to this dataset, and where the goal of personalized prevention programs and cures will start becoming a reality. Look for competition amongst these players (as well as startups) as they seek to hire top-notch data scientists, analysts and clinicians to create predictive health data models that try to make sense of it all.
