This helps to explain big data and reinforce your comments Fatchoi.

” Tools that increase accuracy of assessments and reduce the time to effectively evaluate pain are crucial. Technology that overcomes the gap in pain documentation equips care providers with the means to better plan and treat pain according to evidence-based pain management practices, which ultimately, improves the quality of care.The opportunities AI offers to the global healthcare sectors, from hospitals and primary care, to aged care facilities and home care, are vast. AI can be used to automate patient assessment and remove assessor bias. It can evaluate patient risk, such as of a patient developing a particular disease or suffering a particular adverse event, diagnose disease, for example, by interpreting ECG results and X-ray images, select the optimal treatment based on a patient’s clinical history and the results of clinical trials, and monitor disease and detect early warning signs of deterioration. The use of AI in healthcare will be driven by the availability of big data on which to train predictive algorithms, which assist (rather than replace) human decision-making, facilitate curiosity-based thinking, enable collaboration and remove mundane tasks, enhancing patient care as a result.”
