Intel's Ron Kasabian and Penn Medicine's Michael Draugelis present "Improving Medical Decision Making with Predictive Analytics on Big Data".
Even in this era of intense medical breakthroughs, many illnesses still evade accurate and timely diagnosis. Clinicians’ must often rely on static diagnostic guidelines, that result in late care and too many false alarms. Half of all heart failure patients can go undiagnosed. Patients with chronic illness, like congestive heart failure, slip through the cracks, missing lifesaving education and treatment. Hear how Penn Medicine and Intel are collaborating on an open source analytics platform to revolutionize health care. By using more data and advanced analytics to predict patient illness, clinicians can increase detection rates, reduce care costs., and most importantly save lives.

This keynote is sponsored by Intel.
