Intel is involved in medical large data

According to foreign media reports, processors and other hardware products Intel has been engaged in an internet-related medical experiments and work. Through Intel's wearable devices, data on the human brain associated with neurodegenerative diseases, known as Parkinson's syndrome, are collated and analyzed. The use of wearable equipment to collect data on patients with difficult and incurable diseases will have a significant impact on both the patient and the Internet's large data value.

Ron Kasabian, vice president of Intel's Big data solution, said in a media interview that "we started experimenting with 50 patients to ensure the accuracy of technology and analysis and are now extended to a wider range of clinical trials". He also pointed out that by the end of next year, the project will achieve 10000 monitoring, can help medical researchers better combat Parkinson's syndrome. At present, the world about 5 million people suffering from this disease, patients will suffer from slow movement, frozen, tremor phenomenon, very painful.

Of course, everything is not coincidentally. One reason Intel has entered the field is that its founder, former chief executive Andy Grove was diagnosed with Parkinson's syndrome in 2000 and soon resigned as CEO. Grove, who had a legendary life, struggled to survive, later worked in American restaurants, and a few years later entered the University of California, Berkeley, to become a PhD in chemical engineering, eventually building Intel and making it the chip giant. When he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, Grove began working on a variety of resources to help medical institutions study the disease, even after Parkinson's syndrome in 2000.

In the actual product planning, Intel developed a wearable device with accelerometers. In clinical trials, Intel and medical researchers chose off-the-shelf smart watches as data collection devices, 24-hour uninterrupted collection of patient movement, tremor and sleep data, up to 1GB of data per patient each day. Over the next year, the researchers will also get more data through ECG, blood pressure and heart rate monitoring to find commonalities in the progression of the disease and more effective treatment.

From Michael · Tode Hiller, CEO of the J-Fox Foundation, said: "From 1817 Parkinson first described the disease to this moment, we are basically not much different from the way doctors reviewed it 200 years ago." But with the advent of the wearable devices that Intel studies, this may soon change. ”

In addition to Google, Apple and Facebook competing for access to the Internet, Intel is also using wearable devices to start studying the value of large data on Internet healthcare, and what are the implications?

1, wearable equipment ushered in the peak development period, the giant intervention will speed up the development of Internet medical. mentioned above, including the famous American internet companies and the IT giants are starting to the Internet and mobile medical layout. These giants have opted for wearable equipment and system products without exception, while Facebook is committed to creating a doctor-patient exchange platform. Whether it is hardware or software, the giant's accession, will certainly catalyze the Internet medical process, as the process continues to accelerate, more and more of the spread of equipment with the emergence of the benefit of mankind, prolong the health of life can be good.

2, Intel use wearable equipment advantages, it is expected to solve medical problems can play a role in promoting. All kinds of difficult and incurable diseases have been plaguing mankind all over the world. When science and technology are underdeveloped, doctors have nothing to do with these incurable diseases. With the development of the Internet and technology, all kinds of wearable equipment have been born, there are many health monitoring management and medical application category. Intel is introducing wearable equipment that focuses on Parkinson's disease, and also one of the common neurodegenerative diseases is the disease of the United States scientists Hawking, Huntington's disease and Alzheimer's. If Intel's research can help treat Parkinson's disease, there are also reasons to believe in the power of technology.

3, the big data will become the future influence Internet Medical Development important foundation. The tricky thing about Parkinson's syndrome in clinical research is that researchers rarely understand the progression of the disease and find no common denominator, while Intel's use of new technology to help researchers gather data is obviously significant. When this data is collected backstage, Intel can use powerful processing power to help medical personnel find the common symptoms of illness, thereby establishing effective treatment, maintenance and management of Parkinson's disease through the process of collating, analyzing and excavating large data. The value that big data embodies in this will be important.
