Five digital health trends investors are watching in 2017

3. Data Integration and Analytics

In the past few years we’ve seen a dramatic increase in the amount of digitized health data stored in EMRs, health data captured from smartphones, and genomic data.

There are many uses for these new healthcare datasets. For example, insurance companies and companies that pay for employees’ health care directly, can use additional data to help refine actuarial models. Physicians can use analysis of this data for diagnosis and decision support. Lastly, patients may benefit from the mining of data for predictive prognosis. Consequently, real-time alerts to patients and healthcare professionals are becoming feasible.

Startup companies such as Human API and Validic are trying to help third parties aggregate and integrate these datasets into other applications. We are beginning to see the potential of data analytics in oncology with companies like Flatiron Health and Foundation Medicine. Evidation Health facilitates large, rapid clinical trials with their software and applications.
