BD4BC An Introduction George W. Sledge, MD Professor of Medicine Stanford University
Three Data Revolutions “Omics” Electronic Health Records Internet of Things “A total of 2.5 quintillion terabytes of data were generated every day in 2012 alone, and it is estimated that as much data is now generated in just two days as was created from the dawn of civilization until 2003.” Why Health Care May Finally Be Ready for Big Data Nilay D. Shah and Jyotishman Pathak, Harvard Business Review, 12/3/14

The IoT is Exploding
“With enough data and the ability to crunch it, virtually any challenge facing humanity today can be solved.” Eric Schmidt et al, How Google Works, 2014
Prof Atul Butte (Genomic Medicine, Stanford) at TEDMED 2012 “Who needs the scientific method? Vast stores of available data (…) are simply waiting for the right questions.”
The Present Reality EHR, Omics and IoT unconnected Doctors dislike their EHR systems Doctors can’t use genomic data Clinical decision support: your partner Clinical trials: difficult to access Patients: only partially empowered Care is expensive, ineffective and unchanged
Physician Satisfaction With EHRs: American College of Physicians Survey
RAND/AMA Physician Satisfaction Survey (2013)
The future Healthcare is a seamless web Hyper-connected Big Data systems EHR is the doctor’s best friend Genomics universal and comprehensible Effective, available clinical decision support Clinical trials available to all Patients empowered and active participants Research makes increasing use of Big Data Healthcare works: fewer women die of BC
