Amazon Launches New Software that Data Mines Medical Records To Help Recommend More ...
Summary
At Amazon, the approach is quite the opposite: the Seattle tech giant has already started selling software that is able to mine patient data and send them to doctors and hospitals.The company also says they have made the software available after examining various types of patient data—disease records, prescriptions, lab orders, etc—and performed analysis that is, at the very least, equivalent to existing digital data tools.At present, then, the software team is now trying to refine the algorithm they developed through deep learning strategies in order to overcome common obstacles to streamlined service.As such, Amazon has also teamed up with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center to better analyze data and improve the algorithms to find patients who have specific eligibility for new drug tests.If we also take a look at the fact that Amazon has also established a relationship with the Arcadia group, which will allow the online retailer to sell health monitoring devices.
