Editor's Notes
- “Data science is the discipline of making data useful.”
- Big Data, digital technologies, digital healthcare, AI, Machine learning: what can we expect in 2019 and which tendencies will dominate? I would say none of the above. I think 2019 is going to be the turning point for projects with a social impact. Big Data is a term loosely used to describe the process of obtaining actionable insights from data – but do we really need big data or do we need smart data? To introduce digital technologies as a term in 2019 is outdated – everything that can be digitized will be digitized. Big pharma companies are making shy attempts to move to the cloud and utilize Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to automatize all the processes available – I wish I could tell you that 2019 will be the year to introduce the “AI physician”, but this will be a form of evangelizing with sensational misinformation aimed at triggering civilians and doctors. Most doctors I know would probably argue that the only actual manifestation of big data in medicine is computer vision. The equipment that doctors operate now is far superior and certainly better assists them in diagnosing and curing patients. And to return to your question – I think that projects with social impact will dominate the market. Medicine is a service we do for humans, and that alone has a significance that we should honor in practice.
