 | Join GigaOM Pro and their sponsor Netezza for “Health and Life Sciences Get a Healthy Dose of Big Data” a free analyst roundtable webinar on Wednesday September 19, 2012 at 12 p.m., PST. To improve healthcare, researchers are using big data analytics to bring advances to the medical field. For example, at the State University of New York (SUNY) in Buffalo researchers are using data from patients with multiple sclerosis to analyze the effectiveness of current drugs and treatments alongside the individual's personal health records and the progression of the disease. In doing so they hope to identify which elements of existing treatment prove successful, on whom, when and why. Experts believe that this kind of linking of intelligence and holistic approach to healthcare will speed up our understanding of diseases and potentially our ability to cure them. In this webinar they will discuss what the SUNY Buffalo researchers are doing with big data and its impact on their multiple sclerosis research as well as how advances in big data analytics are changing the healthcare sector in general.
