Machine Learning can Make You Healthier

-
21st century is full of machine lerning and artificial intelligence.Sooner or later, machines will be able to think efficiently and faster than us.Our Brain looks like perfectly coded machine which perceives,processes and transmits information.Machine learning is evolving and now consumer decision with messy data can be handled carefully.

How does this help HealthCare??

HealthCare is a major issue with many countries unable to provide basic healthcare.Choosing the right medicine is always a tricky one.Many forums and blogs are flooded with questions from consumers about choosing the right medicine.MIT spinout dMetriics believes that this information is a treasure trove for healthcare.The startup has developed a platform called Decision Making which uses machine learning and language processing.

How Does It Work???

Let's imagine that a person wants to know about drug C  and the expression goes in this way

"I was prescribed by the doctor to use drug A, but after searching the internet i found drug B to be better as it didnt require too much sleep.But,i also found that drug C is helpful.Can you please tell me which one to use??"

Human expressions cant be decoded by machines.The search results you see on google are due to the presence of keywords.But, the machine learning capability of dMetrics lets the computer understand the problem of the consumer.It understands the meanings of words and relates the "wellness" and "suffering".dMetrics now has a database of every public comment about illness,solutions pulled over from 1 million online sources which includes mpre than 14,000 health care products.

Fast Forward

dMetrics now aims to help more sectors with its machine learning capability.Sectors like healthcare, politics, consumer finace have huge data which is unstructured.

Diabetes and obesity are both deadly.With the rapid rise in technology and busy schedule, most of us suffer from diabetes or obesity.Global Diabetic Statistics shows that nearly 1 in 11 adults have diabetes.Nearly 12% of global health expenditure or nearly 673 billion dollars is being spent on curing Diabetes.Obesity is scary too.According to the data from NHANES, nearly 2 in 3 adults were considered to be obese. But, now researchers have Imperial College London have found that Diabetes And obesity together account for more cancer deaths.Researchers collected data from nearly 175 countries on 12 different types of cancer.They found that nearly 800,000 cancer deaths were reported. As individual risk factors, obesity is considered twice as much as risky as diabetes.544,300 cases of cancer were reported due to obesity while  280,100 cases were reported due to diabetes. Be Careful Cancers caused due to obesity and diabetes were almost twice as common in women than in men, accou
