The Data-Driven Future of Healthcare: A Review

Abstract

The future of disease detection, treatment, and prevention may very well lie in data-driven healthcare. Here, we take stock of where things stand and highlight certain emerging issues and long-standing difficulties. We looked at all the research that has been published on the topic of data-driven healthcare decision-making. Our research shows that the use of data in healthcare has already improved patient care and results. However, there are substantial obstacles that must be overcome, such as the need to more effectively integrate data from multiple sources, as well as issues with data quality, privacy, and security. Furthermore, healthcare data use raises significant ethical concerns. We examine what these results mean for the future of data-driven healthcare and offer suggestions on where future research should focus. We conclude that data-driven healthcare has the potential to transform healthcare delivery and enhance patient outcomes, but that the inherent difficulties and dangers of this approach must be carefully considered.
