Faced with unsustainable costs and enormous amounts of under-utilized data, health care needs more efficient practices, research, and tools to harness the full benefits of personal health and healthcare-related data. Imagine visiting your physician's office with a list of concerns and questions. What if you could walk out the office with a personalized assessment of your health? What if you could have personalized disease management and wellness plan? These are the goals and vision of the work discussed in this paper. The timing is right for such a research direction--given the changes in health care, reimbursement, reform, meaningful use of electronic health care data, and patient-centered outcome mandate. We present the foundations of work that takes a Big Data driven approach towards personalized healthcare, and demonstrate its applicability to patient-centered outcomes, meaningful use, and reducing re-admission rates.
面对不可持续的成本和大量未充分利用的数据，医疗保健需要更有效的实践、研究和工具，以充分利用个人健康和医疗保健相关数据的优势。想象一下，你带着一系列担忧和问题去看医生的办公室。如果你能在离开办公室时得到一份个性化的健康评估，那会怎样？如果你能拥有个性化的疾病管理和健康计划呢？这些都是本文所讨论工作的目标和愿景。考虑到医疗保健、报销、改革、电子医疗保健数据的有意义使用以及以患者为中心的结果要求的变化，现在正是开展这种研究方向的时机。我们介绍了一种采用大数据驱动方法实现个性化医疗保健的工作基础，并展示了它在以患者为中心的结果、有意义的使用和降低再入院率方面的适用性。
