For all the people first priority is about their life. Life is one of the most precious thing in the world. Can Data Science techniques save life, is it possible? Yes, using Data Science techniques to analyze large data sets today has a huge impact on saving lives.

It can provide targeted information to help healthcare professionals to give the best treatment. It can predict natural disasters so that people can prepare early much. In healthcare Data Scientists use predictive analysis developed from Data mining, Data modelling and Machine learning to find best options for the patients.

This type examines all known factors for a disease including gene markers, associated conditions and environmental factors. It then recommends:-

Appropriate Tests

Suitable Trails

Suggested Treatments

Data Science systems that use predictive analysis ensure that all physicians also access latest information about the diseases, tests and treatment plans.

Now I am going to discuss about EMR, what is that EMR term means? Is this helping Data Science to save people’s lives?

EMR- Electronic Medical Records offers guidance on Data Mining. It helps to explore different types of medical research. Northshore University health system is the first healthcare provider in America to be awarded high level of EMR development for both in and out patient care.

Can we predict disasters with the help of Data Science systems?

Yes, high quality data sets can be used to predict occurrences of numerous types of natural disasters. Earthquakes, Hurricanes, Floods, Volcanoes, Tornadoes can be predicted with the help of Data Science. Warwick University in UK used social media content such as photos and keywords to track the development of floods, hurricanes etc.
