In the last few years, we have seen a lot of data science being used in different industries like
IT, media, entertainment, education, banking and finance, e-commerce, and especially in the
health industry. The healthcare industry deals with a large amount of data, ranging from basic
patient information to clinical information about a patient, all with one goal: making
decisions. Most decisions frequently endanger rather than save their patients’ lives.
By taking a different approach, Data Science helps make better patient decisions and provides
more accurate predictions for experimental procedures on patients. Data Science has also
helped in the improvement of care quality.
This article will look at how data science is transforming the healthcare industry.
1.Patient Health Monitoring: Doctors can use data science to remotely monitor their
patients’ health statuses such as heart rate, sleep patterns, blood glucose levels, and
stress levels using wearables such as smart wristwatches and health-tracking
bracelets. This will alert doctors if the patient’s health status changes, allowing them
to make an informed decision.
2.Diagnosis: Data science applications in healthcare can help to facilitate and accelerate
diagnosis, which is an essential component of medical activities. This will aid in the
early detection of health problems.
3.Remote Assistance: Data Science can assist patients with unusual daily needs such as
health and lifestyle information, drug recommendation, and health insurance issues.
4.Predictions: Data Science can identify patterns in historical data and make precise
predictions. This will assist the doctor in anticipating any future health complications.
5.Image Analysis: To visualize the body’s internal systems and organs, healthcare
professionals frequently use imaging techniques such as X-Ray, MRI, and CT scans.
Data Science will help to detect deformities in scans and assist doctors in developing
an effective treatment strategy
There is no better way to improve the health sector other than the use of Data Science.
There is no doubt that its application will be invaluable. Doctors will receive ample
assistance, while patients will benefit from a more personalized experience.
If the Nigerian Healthcare Industry continues with its “best practices and procedures” and
refuses to embrace Data Science as the future, some healthcare facilities will become obsolete
and irrelevant. As a result, Telnet Nigeria Limited has positioned itself as the link between
the healthcare industry and its future (Data Science). Telnet Nigeria Limited has the technical
expertise to help the Nigerian Healthcare Industry integrate Data Science into its various
activities. Please get in touch with us at tcustomercare@telnetng.com for more information.
