Big Data Health Analytics is Personalizing Care
Chronic disease management and preventing hospital readmissions are two examples of how big data health analytics can personalize care. Wearable sensors and cloud computing allow for round-the-clock monitoring of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients, improving their condition and medication adherence. Analyzing clinical notes, claims, pharmacy and other data allows hospitals to predict patients at risk of readmission and reduce rates through proactive follow up care. Big data from various sources has potential to further personalize healthcare.

2. Big Data Health Analytics is Personalizing Care
Harnessing high data volumes & varieties with analysis
Analyzing todays high data volumes,
multiple sources and types of data to
discover patterns that improve care for
an individuals specific needs
2 examples
Chronic disease management
Hospital readmissions
3. 1. Chronic Disease Management
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
72 year old Larry doesnt get enough oxygen
COPD = Bronchitis + emphysema
3rd highest cause of death in US
4. 1. Real-time, Round-the-Clock Monitoring
Wearable + Cloud + Big Data Health Analytics
Solution
Sensor collects continuous biometrics stream
Thousands of data points/minute to cloud
Self-monitoring, Caregivers monitor remotely
Analyze symptoms, history over time
Trigger automatic alerts, set thresholds
Result
Improve patients every day condition
Improve medication adherence
Avoid more acute symptoms & care
Respiratory Rate
Heart Rate/Variability
Sleep Staging/Quality
Calorie Burn/Steps
Skin Temperature
Fall Detection/Severity
5. 2. Preventing Hospital Readmissions
Who wants to go to the hospital? Who wants to go again?
Not patient: One of the most dangerous places in the world Harvard Professor, MD
Not plan: Average cost >$1700/day, average length of stay = 5 days
Not provider: CMS penalties for readmissions - $227M, 2225 hospitals in 2013
6. 2. U Pitt Medical Center Readmission Risk Score
Big Data + Predictive Health Analytics
Solution
Combine Dr. notes, claims, pharmacy, clinical data
Analyze for patterns, correlations
Predict patients needing post-discharge urgent care
Assign readmission risk score at discharge
Result
Assign proactive follow up care for high-risk patients
Reduced readmissions by 37%

Editor's Notes
#2: Healthcare. Its an exciting time in Healthcare today. What with the unprecedented transformation we are in the midst of, coupled with advances in technology such as BDA.
In no other vertical can BDA improve the lives of so many on such a personal level.
Lets review 2 examples of how personalized care is being fueled today by BDA.
#3: BDA: harnessing todays high volumes and varieties of data. data from different sources such as EHRs and caregiver notes, wearables and sensors. Data of different types such as structured and unstructured. And data of humongous sizes for example, sensors are collecting data constantly. Its then combining and parsing these mounds of data to discover and analyze patterns that can be applied to improve an individuals qualify of life and care.
The 2 examples I will discuss are chronic disease management with 1 out of every 2 people in the US living with chronic disease by 2020 according to Health IT News - and hospital readmissions.

#4: My 72 yo friend Larry doesnt get enough oxygen
Coughs, shortness of breath, mucus, wheezing, hard to sleep
Walks to the convenience store 4 blocks for cigs, has to stop 2x
He has COPD - Mix of bronchitis and emphysema
3rd highest cause of death in US
Has oxygen tank, meds (bronchodilators), inhalers
Doesnt always take his meds, get his refills, use his inhaler
#5: Philips Healthpatch - Cloud HealthSuite Digital Platform - eCareCompanion, eCareCoordinator Monitor Apps
Solution http://www.engadget.com/2014/10/13/philips-copd-sensor/ http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2014/10/13/philips-gives-copd-patients-a-lifeline-with-new-gadget/17171535/ http://www.vitalconnect.com/overview
Record patient biometric data relevant for COPD
then push data to cloud HealthSuite Digital Platform using the patient's personal mobile device. using HealthPatch sensor
the cloud-based service allows both patients and doctors an unprecedented level of access to realtime, round-the-clock health data.
Record physical activity and inactivity, respiratory function, heart rhythm, and heart rate variability
data retrievable via Philips eCareCompanion and eCareCoordinator
BDA: Collect BD in cloud analyze diagnose combo of factors
Result
Alert: take inhaler, get on oxygen, take a break, use/get meds
Alert: caregiver to check in
Auto refill meds
#6: Who wants to go to the hospital? Who wants to go again?
Not the patient or family
One of the most dangerous places in the world Harvard MD & Professor Ashish K Jha
180K americans in the medicare community alone die every year in hospital due to med errors preventable harm
http://kaiserhealthnews.org/morning-breakout/medical-mistakes-2/
Not the plan Aetna: average cost >$1700/day, average length of stay, 5 days http://www.aetna.com/voluntary/hospital.html

UPMC incented to understand why, how to prevent
#7: Solution
BD combo unstructured Dr. notes, claims, pharmacy, EHRs
Analyzed: Looking for patterns, correlations
Able to Predict patients needing urgent care after discharge
WW in notes, low drug adherence in past, # of prior admissions in past year, length of stay >4 days, admitting service (ER or elective)
Mom in notes = low risk
Assign readmission risk score
Result
Do intervention, assign a care manager, follow up calls, RPM
Reduced readmissions by 37%
