Back to our Real-Time World Now

Hey guys, let us return to real-time after the “Sunday Morning Coffee” and check out our technological progress. You will be happy to see that the seeds of our “Fiction’s Story” are already taking root globally across business and industry and in our daily lives, too. Let us dive into the modern business world and look at the Healthcare sector as an example.

Modern Business – How Tech Trinity Making the Difference?

If we look at the healthcare business, predictive analytics used by doctors are a common phenomenon in modern patient care. Big business corporations are leveraging data-driven insights to stabilize their supply chain. AI. Powered virtual assistants /chatbots have streamlined customer services across industries and brought in more efficiency. “Alexa (AMAZON’s cloud-based voice service) – a dear household name to us, available on 100 million plus devices from Amazon and third-party device manufacturers. With Alexa, you can interface with natural voice experiences that offer a more imaginative way to interact with the technology we use daily.

The entry and rise of smart devices in our daily lives and the Internet of Things (IoT), where data are generated in enormous volume, provide deep insights into user behaviors, choices, cultures, and lifestyle trends. We are familiar with Smart homes that adjust temperature and lighting based on occupants’ preferences. Automatic robotic vehicles that can navigate city streets with precision and modern drone technology are used for multiple purposes, adding value to life. They all represent the power and integration of big data, datafication, and AI that have started subtly reshaping our world.

Understanding Tech Trinity and their Role in the Grand Theatre of Modern Technology

 

Big Data – The Primary Foundation

Big data is the primary foundation, providing massive raw data drawn from multiple sources. They contain precious information (once analyzed) generated from our everyday lives and our digital interactions through various platforms, IoT devices, smartphones, and many more. In early 2000, after the internet and social media revolution, we started realizing the massive quantity of data generated through popular platforms, including Facebook, YouTube, Linked In, and others. Realizing the information potential and its power, Hadoop (an open-source framework, came into existence to store and analyze big data sets). NoSQL also began to gain popularity during this time.

Big data is so voluminous that conventional data processing software cannot manage the data set beyond a point. But they contain valuable information (once processed and analyzed) to address modern business challenges.

Datafication, Comes Next

Datafication is the process by which raw data is transformed into actionable insights. It involves systematically collecting, organizing, and analyzing data, turning chaos into coherence, and helping you make an informed decision. It simply means this: From our actions to our thoughts, everything is transformed into a numerically quantified format or “Data.”

Unknowingly, we create a large amount of data every time we use our Smartphones, send text messages, use social media, dispatch emails, watch an online video, Swipe at an ATM or our bank credit card, or even walk past a security camera.

This astronomical amount of data has information about our identity and our behavior. Datafication can help us understand the world from a more rational perspective. Supplement the effort; new technologies are emerging to ingest, store, process, and visualize that data. Businesses and marketers continuously analyze Facebook and Twitter data to determine and predict sales. Globally, companies have realized the power and benefits of data and analytics.

AI (Artificial Intelligence) – The Jewel in the Crown

Can you make machines think like “We Humans” and deliver it smartly faster than us? Well, that is what AI (Artificial Intelligence) is all about. AI is a brilliant analyst on vast datasets with superfast processing capability, exploring patterns, developing insight, and predicting concluding outcomes. AI technology can process large data volumes much faster. AI can help to recognize patterns, make decisions, and judge like humans. Machine learning (ML), a subset of AI, assists computers in learning and acting as humans do, assisting AI operations in this endeavor.

Big Data, Datafication, and AI are complementary, and each other playing a vital role in the “Tech Trinity.” Big Data provides the primary material, raw data, Datafication transforms it into usable data, and AI provides the final predictable output. As we move forward, Tech Trinity is expected to unfold more new chapters and surprises, reshaping the way we work and live in the future.

The Tech Trinity in Action: Revolutionizing Healthcare Industries through Big Data, Datafication, and AI

Tech Trinity—the powerful combination of big data, datafication, and Artificial Intelligence (AI)—is rapidly reshaping industries across the globe. Let us look at how each transforms the workings of critical sectors like healthcare, making functioning more objective-driven, achieving operational excellence, paving the way for fast and informed decision-making, and achieving the end goals.

Big Data in Health Care

The large amount of critical data the healthcare sector collects and manages globally is beyond words. Technological advancements, in turn, are changing how the healthcare business collects, analyzes, and stores information for more extensive interests.

Big data analytics helps healthcare professionals use and understand health-related information more efficiently for individual patients or the community. Diagnostic machinery, devices, instrumentations, and other online applications transfer and store a large volume of healthcare data through the healthcare network with tools like Hadoop and Spark.

Healthcare analysts use big data to their advantage today while working on critical preventive measures, interventions, and management areas. The goal remains to improve patient care and operational efficiency and cut costs. Big data analytics here makes it possible to get a more complete picture to make smarter decisions.

Perhaps the most significant big data success we have encountered during COVID-19. Big data analytics was a game changer and supported the rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines. Researchers have shared data to develop advanced medications very quickly. Big data also predicted the pace of the virus’s spread by allowing information to be processed much more rapidly than in the past during other pandemics.

Revolutionizing Datafication with AI

Technologies’ evolution always comes with specific challenges, and the healthcare business is no exception. A massive amount of data and the associated information needs to be more understood in terms of utility or not being used properly because of traditional tools and aging infra, making it a compulsion for systemic datafication in the healthcare sector.

Here, one must accept that both datafication and AI are repetitive, intertwined processes that contribute to each other’s quality performance. AI algorithms function better with more datasets. These datasets fuel AI algorithms, delivering deep insights into the Healthcare business.

For a sensitive business like healthcare, one should systematically collect, process, and store the data collected through analog sources (physical events) and other sources, such as social media posts and IoTs. Skilled developers and data analysts can use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to help interpret the big data customized for healthcare sector professionals for informed decision-making.

A few critical areas of AI applications in Healthcare include diagnosis and treatment recommendations, patient engagement and adherence, and other administrative activities. There are several instances in which AI can perform healthcare tasks better and faster.

Thus, a competent team of AI experts, data specialists, and developers can bring out measurable changes in the healthcare business. Whether operational efficiency, better revenue performance, or improved patient care, Tech Trinity’s power will change the healthcare business’s future landscape.

The primary point I am driving home here is that big data, Datafication, and AI supplement each other’s efforts, adding more punch to Tech Trinity for improved performance in analyzing data, extracting insights, and making decisions across various domains.
