Abstract:

Big data is poised to change the way we thought and the way we worked. It has many advantages over current practices. When Big Data is combined with machine learning or artificial intelligence (AI), many questions are being answered much easier than ever before, better early intervention and better patient management. The presentation addresses what Big Data means for patients, payers, devise makers and Pharma with examples of current applications. Big Data and AI promise huge opportunities but raises huge issues and challenges.
