July 201919 CXO NSIGHTSWe're living in a world full of data today. Everything we do is, or can be, captured digitally, which means that each of us are potentially generating terabytes of data every single day. The natural question is how can we use this data to make our lives better, especially in healthcare, where data includes electronic health records, doctor's notes, pharmacy prescriptions, insurance claims, genetic information and more. In fact, we are now seeing a paradigm shift where medicine is fast becoming a data science supported by clinicians, rather than a clinical science supported by data. Unlocking the hidden value in healthcare data has the potential to greatly improve patient care and costs. We can do this through integrating and connecting with data in an effective way, and leveraging on artificial intelligence (AI).AI, or machine learning, in healthcare is the use of complex algorithms to analyze large volumes of complicated medical data and discover patterns and correlations within the data that would not have been revealed otherwise. This has become feasible in the last USING AI TO EMPOWER CLINICIANS, PATIENTS, AND HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONSBY DR. YAU TENG YAN, CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER, HOLMUSK
