We live in a world where big medical data are being compiled. Many people make use of biometric information gathered by a variety of health care devices linked to smartphones, such as Fitbit devices. In addition, the development of medical information management schemes and the introduction of health information systems have greatly increased the possibility of using medical records stored in medical institutions. With the development of sensor technology and analytical capabilities, we have gained new knowledge through big data, stemming from the collection of data that was not important in the current medical area. Digital health care is moving toward creating value while creating utility as well based on data collected beyond the level of those collected by sensors. Only organizations that have quickly entered the market and accumulated data and have already developed advanced algorithms based on the data can be competitive. However, digital health care companies that survive in the market will lead the change and will reorganize the health care sector. In addition, a big data-based health care platform can help increase the number of e-patients through patient participation.
我们生活在一个正在收集大量医疗数据的世界里。许多人利用与智能手机相连的各种医疗设备收集的生物特征信息，比如Fitbit设备。此外，医疗信息管理方案的发展以及健康信息系统的引入，极大地增加了使用存储在医疗机构中的医疗记录的可能性。随着传感器技术和分析能力的发展，我们通过大数据获得了新知识，这些大数据源于收集当前医疗领域中并不重要的数据。数字医疗保健正朝着在创造效用的同时创造价值的方向发展，其依据的是收集到的数据超出了传感器收集的数据水平。只有那些迅速进入市场并积累了数据，且已经基于这些数据开发了先进算法的组织才具有竞争力。然而，在市场中生存下来的数字医疗保健公司将引领变革，并将对医疗保健行业进行重组。此外，基于大数据的医疗保健平台可以通过患者参与来帮助增加电子患者的数量。
