Data Science in the Medical Field (eBook)

ata science has the potential to influence and improve fundamental services such as the healthcare sector. This book recognizes this fact by analyzing the potential uses of data science in healthcare. Every human body produces 2 TB of data each day. This information covers brain activity, stress level, heart rate, blood sugar level, and many other things. More sophisticated technology, such as data science, allows clinicians and researchers to handle such a massive volume of data to track the health of patients. The book focuses on the potential and the tools of data science to identify the signs of illness at an extremely early stage. • Shows how improving automated analytical techniques can be used to generate new information from data for healthcare applications• Combines a number of related fields, with a particular emphasis on machine learning, big data analytics, statistics, pattern recognition, computer vision, and semantic web technologies• Provides information on the cutting-edge data science tools required to accelerate innovation for healthcare organizations and patients by reading this book
