Big Data Is Transforming Medicine
By Susan Hassler
Posted 28 May 2015 | 15:00 GMT
"Professional sports was among the first “people” industries to embrace big data. In this issue, we describe how medicine is now mining big data to cure illness and possibly prevent it. And, eventually, we may try to make our exquisite biology even better than it is upon our arrival on terra firma. "
"In 2013, a Pew Research Center study revealed that 69 percent of Americans were already tracking their diet, exercise, or a health indicator such as blood pressure, although only 21 percent were using technology to do so."
