IBM staff storyteller Chris Luongo has created a great infographic explaining the different ways that healthcare could become data driven in the future. The IBM Smarter Planet blog calls it Smarter Healthcare.
We've embedded the infographic below in Microsoft's new web page viewer Zoom.it.
The data mining part of this story is one of the most interesting to me. As one online resource has explained:
Medical (or clinical) databases have accumulated large amounts of data on patients and their medical conditions. This kind of information, stored along with that of other patients, make up an ideal place to look for new analysis and patterns, or to validate proposed hypotheses. To exploit such large volumes of medical data, numerous inductive data analysis techniques derived from Machine Learning (ML) study have been successfully applied to medical data to discover useful and new knowledge. However, medical data mining is considered by many machine learning communities as the most complex and problematic domain yet to be overcome.
Where there is data, there is opportunity for analysis and building added value. The increasing instrumentation of the healthcare experience could become a major platform for innovation and improved service for consumers.
International Healthcare News: IVF success 'not influenced by stress'
25/02/11 17:27
International health insurance customers could be glad to learn that emotional distress does not reduce the chances of falling pregnant through IVF.
Research conducted by a team at Cardiff University found that levels of stress have no impact on the likelihood of a woman falling pregnant or not.
The team looked at 14 previous studies, which assessed 3,582 women.
Each woman was assessed to determine how stressed they were at the beginning of their IVF treatment using recognised psychological techniques.
Professor Jack Boivin, lead researcher from Cardiff University, told the BBC: "There are a lot of myths around how people get pregnant.
"Women having fertility treatment who do not get pregnant early on often blame themselves for getting too stressed out and the longer they remain not pregnant the more stressed they get. This just reinforces the myth."
IVF treatments can be very expensive, making overseas health insurance a must.
Last fall, I presented a new framework for personal health at the Health 2.0 conference. This framework was developed after years of examining and thinking about consumer personal health information -- thinking that's been refined through research at Stanford, the founding, building, and growing of one of the largest online consumer health websites (Wellsphere -- who has served more than 100 million users), and now through founding and buildingHealthTap. We've created HealthTap to engage people in their health and to help them live healthier, happier lives by using information, transforming it into knowledge, and then into action.
Here's the video of my presentation from Health 2.0:
From Data To Action!
In recent years, companies tapping data to guide user decisions have experienced robust traction and widespread adoption. In books and commerce, Amazon.com makes personalized recommendations based on users' past purchases and browsing habits. Mint.com provides personalized financial guidance based on individual user financial data. Pandora.com creates playlists based on musical preferences and listening behaviors, and Netflix predicts film preferences for subscribers, and uses proprietary algorithms to makes film suggestions. Millions of content users also favor this approach when used by online dating services, helping them make better choices about whom to date.
The benefit of decision support is clear: incorporating individual data into personalized and tailored recommendations leads to more fitting decisions and actions, and happier, more satisfied people.
In an ideal world, every person will be able to simply log into a secure personal service that will allow her or him to take relevant pieces of data at a moment of need, quickly process it to get meaningful information, easily understand it to become knowledgeable, and effortlessly track a new behavior that will help her or him solve or alleviate the specific need they have.
Every day we make many important heath-related decisions and choices -- from what we eat to whether or not we take a break to relax, or from taking our medication as prescribed to agreeing to undertake a needed medical procedure. Surprisingly, these decisions are made without easy access to relevant and personalized health information to help us understand what's happening, and choose what's the right thing to do, and without a personal health "dashboard" to help us track and benchmark what we chose to do.
Can you imagine playing a video game without data infrastructure and a dashboard that helps you benchmark yourself against your goals and the performance of others?
And yet, we live in a time of increasingly available health information and tools. There's an explosion of health data becoming available and accessible from multiple sources, ranging from wearable devices to smart-phone apps, from aggregated government health data to industry compiled health data, and from online communities to social networks where patients share information about their health and care.
Think of a time when you felt that something was not quite right with your health. Did you feel anxious and alone? What difference would an easily accessible Personal Health Companion (that knew you and your personal health profile and was immediately available online or through your smart phone), have made at that time? Imagine the companion being able to mix and filter data about what it already knows about you, with what you tell it is currently happening, with the understanding of what's happening to people who are similar to you, and based on that real and personal data to provide you with information about what you likely are experiencing and what you can do.
When you eventually choose a course of action, with your physician, your practitioner or on your own (if it doesn't require a professional), the Personal Health Companion will be there with you to help you monitor your progress, and help you transform your newly acquired knowledge into sustainable action, better health and a happier life.

¿Es realmente patológico? Adicción a Internet: ¿Una epidemia del siglo XXI? La adicción a Internet, no reconocida oficialmente como un problema psicopatológico, tiene cada vez más prevalencia y públicamente es considerada un problema potencial similar a los trastornos ya existentes.
ACTA Gastroenterológica Latinoamericana Enfermedad celíaca: prevalencia del diagnóstico en un hospital de comunidad La enfermedad celíaca (EC) se caracteriza por una lesión crónica de la mucosa del intestino delgado, originada en una intolerancia al gluten del trigo, cebada y centeno en personas genéticamente predispuestas.
Resultados positivos Seguridad y eficacia de la eszopiclona en adultos mayores con insomnio La eszopiclona provoca una mejoría significativa del inicio, el mantenimiento y la duración del sueño, así como del funcionamiento diurno en pacientes adultos mayores que presentan insomnio.
La Organización Mundial de la Salud ha elegido este tema para el Día Mundial de la Salud 2011, dado el aumento importante de la resistencia a los antimicrobianos que se ha observado en los últimos años en todo el mundo, cuyas consecuencias incluyen el aumento de la morbilidad, la mortalidad y los costos de la atención de salud de las enfermedades infecciosas.
La aparición y propagación de las resistencias es uno de los retos más difíciles de la medicina moderna y la salud pública. La causa fundamental es el aumento del uso de los antimicrobianos, aunque hay otros factores contribuyentes, tanto en pacientes hospitalizados como en la comunidad, por lo que se necesitan más evidencias sobre las causas, la magnitud y las consecuencias.
Tema central: Resistencias a los antimicrobianos: - microbiología básica o clínica - infecciones asociadas a la atención de salud - impacto de las resistencias en la carga de enfermedad - impacto en la salud pública - resultados clínicos - costos económicos.
