Data Analytics with Precision Diagnostics

Overview

Data Analytics with Precision Diagnostics involves using customized data analytics to diagnose medical conditions and manage and tailor an individual patient's healthcare. Data analytics involves extracting actionable insights from data and the process includes collecting, processing, cleaning, and transforming data, followed by identifying patterns within it. These patterns are then visualized and presented to provide critical diagnostic insights, enabling practitioners to use this information to improve healthcare.
