Big data

Big data is our ability to make sense of the world and understand the world better, by using a lot more data points than we ever could in the past. Big data is a powerful tool to revolutionise healthcare because with it, with the data in it, analysing it, we will be able to individualise and to personalise care and medical diagnoses and treatment. So that people not only live longer, but they live better.

Big data and mhealth

Big data is a huge deal for mobile healthcare, because mobile healthcare is the infrastructure. It is the tool, it is the fertile ground, but for it to do well and be successful, it needs the seeds and big data are the seeds to put into this fertile ground and to grow success from it.

Mobile Healthcare event

I am so super-excited to be the keynote speaker for the mobile healthcare conference coming up in October, and I can promise everybody taking part in it, that I will chart out the path into the future. This is a revolution, we don’t know where it’s exactly going, it uncharted waters. But whenever you have uncharted waters, you need guidance, you need an understanding of the direction in which it goes, so that you can be successful. That’s what I will provide.
