The healthcare industry is trying to innovate by using data to better understand the symptoms and needs of patients. But the data warehousing presently taking place for the most part is presenting an incomplete picture because the vast majority of it gets captured at the point of care. The authentic data collection will be when retrieved during the normal processes of like, while eating, resting or working. For this the use of trackable devices and business analytics has been proposed. Companies such as Optum Analytics are at the forefront of this innovation. Healthcare professionals are often skeptical of much innovation due to the high stakes. But physician burnout is one thing that can be reduced substantially by this partnership between such analytics and device companies with healthcare operators.
