The collection of information, the management of it, the analysis of it, the first level is driven by analytics.
It's driven by population comparisons using the best evidence that is available at that time. [INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]
Physician can't be in that equation 24 by 7. Physicians have to intervene when there's a reason to intervene.
And so the system, the collection of information, the management of it, the analysis of it,
the first level is driven by analytics. It's driven by population comparisons
using the best evidence that is available at that time. It's big data.
It's organizing medical knowledge and keeping it up to date on a 24 by 7 basis
and using the metrics that come in from sensors, from information that is provided by the patient
or automatically by sensors in and around us. It's managing the data that comes
in against a smart database analytics that then determines when the physician or the other clinician has to intervene.
