Data and Healthcare: Accelerating Patient Care/Outcomes
HOW DATA IS ADVANCING INDUSTRIES
Data is Advancing Healthcare and Research
Improvements in technology, coupled with the convergence of cutting-edge research and data analytics have created a new opportunity in healthcare. Today’s clinical workloads require storage infrastructure advancements that meet their demands and deliver fast, high-quality patient outcomes. The system must be able to quickly access clinical applications, databases, and EHR/EMR, deliver reports, handle customer billing and claims responses in near real time, and speed access to images and test results for fast patient assessments.
The ability to correlate genomic, clinical or behavioral data with advanced treatment information and research can help deliver precise diagnoses, evaluations, and medicine to patients while possibly identifying future risk factors and diseases.

$136.8B by 2021
The global IoT healthcare market is expected to reach $136.8 billion by 2021 (12.5% CAGR 2015 to 2021)2
$6.6B by 2021
The global AI in healthcare market is projected to reach $6.6 billion by 2021 (40% growth rate)3
Patient data that was once confined to paper/photographic records is now digital. This means powerful database systems and virtualized IT environments are the norm. Add BYOD, tablets, wearables, telemedicine, care network collaboration, AI, and analytics to the mix, and success comes down to your IT.

ACCELERATE FUTURE DISCOVERIES AND CURES
Healthcare and Research Speed Patient Care and Outcomes with Data
Microscopy images are growing in size as new innovative techniques increase their clarity and resolution. That means more bioimages will need to be centrally stored to not only accelerate treatments, evaluations and diagnostics, but to also learn from these large datasets. Combining storage technologies at the edge and in the core, healthcare and research organizations are investing in solutions that properly index, preserve, and provide access to these large bioimaging files, which are critical for future life sciences discoveries and cures.

Genomics
GENOMICS
Realizing the Full Potential of Precision Medicine
Cutting-edge research and bioinformatics are transforming vast amounts of data into results that are driving a revolution in personalized healthcare. Use of genomic sequencing has grown significantly due to dramatically lower costs. The breadth of additional data now available for deep learning of computer algorithms can lead to faster analysis and better predictions.
Analyzing and managing the enormous volume of data has become a major challenge for life science organizations. The existing storage infrastructure is being pushed to its limits and traditional architectures simply can't keep pace.

Bioimaging
BIOIMAGING
Simplify Research and Machine Learning Pipeline Analysis
Imaging is the dominant form of analysis for molecules, cells, and tissues across the life sciences. Data generation is growing faster than any other field, driving computing and storage needs beyond what traditional architectures can support. A single modern microscope can generate 5-10 terabytes a day, and most labs operate more than one simultaneously.
The storage challenge is not just about high ingest rates and keeping the compute cluster fed with data for near real-time analysis. Scientific research organizations are now keeping their data forever, with the hopes of applying artificial intelligence. They want a private or hybrid cloud for efficiently storing petabytes of data and making it securely accessible to collaborators around the world.
MAKE YOUR DATA COME ALIVE
Object storage solutions offer research organizations the scalability and durability needed for long-term retention and easy sharing of data with fellow collaborators. Build your own with Western Digital's high-density platforms.

LIFE SCIENCES EXPERTS AGREE
Genomic medicine attempts to build individualized strategies for diagnostic or therapeutic decision-making by utilizing patients’ genomic information. Big Data analytics uncovers hidden patterns, unknown correlations, and other insights through examining large-scale various data sets. While integration and manipulation of diverse genomic data and comprehensive electronic health records (EHRs) on a Big Data infrastructure exhibit challenges, they also provide a feasible opportunity to develop an efficient and effective approach to identify clinically actionable genetic variants for individualized diagnosis and therapy.
