What Five Questions Can Save Your Life or End It?
Big Data or Better Questions?
Historically, the health care space has done a whole lot of 'talking at' and 'lecturing to.' However, it does not do a whole lot of listening to what really matters and to what really resonates. Alexandra Drane feels that instead of offering up their opinions to the millions of nameless, faceless individuals out there struggling, they should explain how real life meets health. The healthcare space is sitting on a mess of data — actual data reflecting how real people live, think and interact with the world around them. It's time to pore through the data, listen really hard and focus on separating signal from noise. Looking for what is really there as opposed to what we think should be there can help us open our minds and our warehouses to consider the following questions: Is it bigger data we need? Or is it higher fidelity, more relevant data that's missing? Drane asks her audiences: Once you've tamed your big data, what are you going to do with what you learned?
