Big Data for Better Life
Abstract
Life science now is data driven. Data science provides the core technology for biomedical research, healthcare and well being. This trend also provides great challenges as well as opportunities to big data research.
The primary opportunity from the integration of big data into clinical practice is better treatment for patients, stemming from improved diagnosis and decision support, personalisation of predictions, and quality of care.
More expansive, interlinked health records should make it easier to find suitable participants for clinical trials; likewise, finding another patient with similar symptoms should also be easier. More opportunities are from better treatment with the approach of personalised medicine. Moreover, wearable sensor technology provides the revolutionary change in health monitoring. In this talk, I will present our research in applying big data for healthcare and biomedical research, especially we will focus on machine learning technology for various medical applications.
