Technology continues to change our world, but in itself it is neither good nor bad. The benefits of data science and other technological innovations are up to us. Whether they make our lives easier or more difficult is up to us.
Here, we are going to discuss How Data Science Can Be Used for Social Good.
What is Data Science?
Data science is an interdisciplinary field that extracts knowledge and insights from many structural and unstructured data, using scientific methods, data mining techniques, machine-learning algorithms, and big data.
What are the similarities between healthcare and finance? Probably not too much, except for the fact that they are being disrupted by technology.
Millions of clinical documents being produced in the around the world annually, life scientists and doctors have a sea of data to base their research upon. Additionally, huge volumes of health-related information are made accessible through widespread adoption of wearable tech. This opens up new opportunities for better, more informed healthcare.
The aim of many data scientists and machine learning experts is to collect, structure and process a high volume of data in order to gain a deeper understanding of the human body. It is also the most promising healthcare technology based on our industry knowledge.
In past company are not able to predict the requirement of drug delivery required and take nearly decades for discover of new drug, but combination of science, technology, and medicine in the dynamic digital age has unveiled new data systems to improve statistics, improve healthcare and drug delivery, and improve health information reporting on clinical decisions.
Significant advances of data science in healthcare.
Using wearables data to monitor and prevent health problems. Improving diagnostic accuracy and efficiency Turning patient care into precision medicine Advancing pharmaceutical research to find cure for cancer and Ebola Optimizing clinic performance through actionable insights Taking the risk out of prescription medicine Reducing hospital readmissions to cut healthcare costs

Why Healthcare database
Databases in healthcare improve interactions between patients and their providers. Healthcare databases assist with diagnosis and treatment, manage documentation and billing, and help reduce errors in medical operations and management.
From predicting treatment outcomes, to curing cancer and making patient care more effective, data science healthcare has proven to be an invaluable contribution to the future of the industry.
