Abstract

Healthcare providers and payers are increasingly turning to Big Data and analytics, to help them understand their patients and the context of their illnesses in more detail. Industry leaders are exploring/using Big Data to reduce costs, increase efficiency and improve patient care. The next future is an innovative approach to improving patient access using lean methods and predictive analytics. Social sciences are very much related to healthcare and both areas develop in a parallel way. In this article, we introduce one example of application: Bip4cast (a bipolar disorder CAD system). This paper shows how Bip4cast deals with different data sources to enrich the knowledge and improve predictive analysis.
