The potential for artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) to transform the way health care and therapies are delivered is tremendous. It’s not surprising that the health care and life sciences industries are being flooded with information about how these new technologies will change everything. While it’s

I love my job, but I am not a morning person so I need a bit of inspiration to get out of bed. I’ve been a marketer for more than 15 years, and that inspiration has never been easier to find than since I joined SAS as an industry marketer
El comienzo de un nuevo ciclo, de un nuevo año, implica el establecimiento de una evolución como persona o negocio. El arranque de 2019 es una buena oportunidad para hacer coincidir la tecnología analítica con los propósitos de su negocio. ¿Desea saber lo que le depara el futuro? ¿Encontrarás las
The ODS Graphics software, first released with SAS 9.2, supported creating graphs directly from statistical procedures. Prior to this, very few statistical procedures created graphs on their own, and in most cases creating graphs was a post process or creating the graphs from the saved data using SAS/GRAPH procedures. With
Singer-songwriter David Wilcox kept me out of prison. That’s not a country song gone bad – it’s a real-life experience. Almost two decades ago, I attended a David Wilcox concert in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina. His songs have always hooked my heart, and one in particular caught my attention that
The SAS 9.4M6 software includes a new SGPIE procedure (preproduction) as introduced in the recent article - The SGPIE Procedure. In that article, I described the basic features of the two statements supported in the procedure, the PIE and the DONUT, with some examples. It is my humble opinion that
The opioid epidemic continues to be one of the largest challenges facing the United States. In 2016, more than 42,000 Americans died from opioid overdoses, and that number continues to climb. Recent data shows that more than 130 people die every day in the United States after overdosing on opioids,
I recently read an article that said a school in Asheville, North Carolina had the worst chickenpox outbreak in the state in 2 decades. The article was interesting, and it also let me know I had a hole in my knowledge ... "What?!? - There's a chickenpox vaccine?!?" When I
Data management gets lost in the enthusiasm around Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Not surprising, when it's an algorithm that decides what search results to show you, guides the self-driving cars on the roads, and powers the anti-fraud bots that monitor every credit card transaction we make. Charles
A few days back I published an article on including more subject data in a Waterfall graph. This was motivated by the desire from many users to view more data in the same graph, thus avoiding the need to refer to different graphs for the relevant information. In this case,
Teenagers. I have three boys, and two of them are teenagers. 15 year-old Kav is my middle son, and he gave me permission to share his story here. When he was five, Kav was diagnosed with Type I Diabetes, and I'm in awe of how he's accepted this challenging, lifelong
인공지능(AI)이 우리에게 미치는 영향이 나날이 커지면서 일자리를 대체할 것이라는 우려도 높아지고 있습니다. 이를 위해서 인공지능의 윤리 방안과 규제에 대한 논의가 이루어지고, 기업이 알고리즘으로 인해 일자리를 빼앗긴 직원에게 재교육을 제공해야 한다는 목소리가 나오고 있는데요. 하지만 이러한 모든 내용은 인공지능이 미치는 부정적인 면에만 치우쳐 있습니다. 그렇다면 인공지능이 우리의 삶에 주는 혜택으로는 무엇이 있을까요? 인공지능,
Previously, I have written articles on how we could display more subject response data along with the traditional WaterFall graph showing the best "Change from Baseline". This is in response to the desire to see data like treatment duration for each subject in the same graph. Otherwise, investigators have to
Health care is facing an unprecedented need to reform, drive quality and cut costs. Growth in targeted, specific treatments and diagnostic technology, coupled with a rise in people with long-term and multiple chronic conditions, is creating unsustainable demand on the system. To thrive – or even merely survive – health
Artificial intelligence often seems misunderstood, especially in fraud. The same is true of machine learning. One of the amazing things about them is they ask the unasked questions. This occurs as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) go about their daily work. So, what is the unasked question? Too
In my 15+ years working in clinical research, I've not seen significant evolution in the way we do clinical trials and apply advanced analytics to clinical trial data. A personal story demonstrates that a similar problem is at play in health care. Each year my daughter visits the children’s cardiology
I've been recovering for 15 years now, after a lengthy career caring for critically ill patients. Now, I’m part of a team at SAS that’s working to transform health care – and that's important to me because of something that happened when I was an ICU nurse. It changed my
Krankenversicherung und neue Technologien – geht das zusammen? Auf alle Fälle! Und das User-Group-Treffen „Analytik in der Krankenversicherung“, das kürzlich in Leipzig stattfand, hat es unter Beweis gestellt. Diese von den Gesundheitsforen Leipzig ausgerichtete Veranstaltung ist ein sehr informatives Forum, auf dem sich analytische Fachexperten aus der Gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung (GKV)
Fest steht: Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) wird unser aller Leben verändern – und tut es schon. Weniger klar ist, in welcher Weise und in welchem Zeitrahmen diese Veränderungen passieren – und was am Ende dabei herauskommt. In vielen Bereichen gibt es wilde Spekulationen. Bei Life Sciences und im Gesundheitssektor lichtet sich
비운의 영화 배우, 파킨슨병 치료를 위해 앞장서다 타임머신과 시간 여행을 다룬 영화 하면 무엇이 가장 먼저 떠오르시나요? 전 세계적으로 가장 크게 흥행한 영화 중 하나는 단연 스티븐 스필버그 감독 제작의 SF 영화 ‘백 투 더 퓨처(Back to the Future)’일텐데요. 1985년에 개봉된 이 영화는 11주 동안 미국 박스 오피스 1위를 차지하고,
The data I was analyzing was about “trust.” Maybe that’s what got me thinking about Stephen Sondheim, the Broadway composer and lyricist of musicals like Sunday in the Park with George and Into the Woods and the lyricist for West Side Story. Trust is a heavy emotional topic. Developmental psychologists
Künstliche Intelligenz wird meist mit Alexa und Siri oder Chatbots bei Banken und Callcentern assoziiert. Eher selten wird über das Potenzial der KI-Technologien in den Life Sciences und im Gesundheitswesen gesprochen – die Idee ist aber im Kommen. Das zeigt eine aktuelle Studie von Accenture: 74 Prozent der Führungskräfte in
En el marco de la 4ª Convención Latinoamericana de Analítica, uno de los temas centrales fue la importancia de que las empresas saquen todo el potencial de sus datos para que la tecnología que implementan pueda mostrar su máximo valor en el marco de la Transformación Digital de sus negocios.
Die Digitalisierung bringt enorme Potenziale für Unternehmen: individualisierte Kundenansprache, spezifische bedürfnisorientierte Angebote, bessere Steuerbarkeit der Kundeninteraktion – all dies dient letztlich der Umsatzsteigerung und der Befriedigung der Shareholder. Doch es sind nicht nur Unternehmen, die die Herausforderung der Digitalisierung von Prozessen und Produkten annehmen und ihren Profit daraus schlagen, sondern
It seems only a few months back I posted an article on creating Pie Charts using a GTL based macro. Well, looking back, that was almost 6 years ago!! Recently, a colleague here at SAS needed to create Pie Charts in his report along with other plots created using SGPLOT
“Machine Learning” is a trendy term being kicked around (pun intended) by fraud fighters around the world. In fact, Machine Learning is such a popular term that it is becoming a staple in buzzword bingo games. Here’s a little secret about machine learning… many of the people who talk about
Das Gesundheitssystem in Deutschland sieht sich mittel- und langfristig vor große finanzielle Herausforderungen gestellt. Zum Teil ist dies wohl das Ergebnis des eigenen Erfolgs. Der kontinuierliche Fortschritt bei medizinischen Behandlungsmethoden hat dazu geführt, dass immer mehr Krankheiten erfolgreich behandelt werden können. Aus diesem Grunde erfreuen sich die Menschen einer immer
Todo se basa en una sencilla teoría económica: cuando los precios de los productos aumentan, la gente no está dispuesta a pagarlos y, en consecuencia, la demanda se va a pique; evidentemente, sucede el efecto contrario cuando se reducen. No obstante, el mecanismo que se activa al modificar dicho valor
3월 라스베이거스에서 전 세계 4만명 이상의 헬스케어 IT 전문가, 임상의, 기업 경영진 등이 참여한 가운데 세계적인 헬스케어 IT 컨퍼런스 ‘HIMSS (Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society)’가 개최됐습니다. 기조연설을 맡은 에릭 슈미트(Eric Schmidt) 전 구글 CEO는 인간 중심 의료(person-centered care)의 중요성에 대해 역설하며 주목 받았는데요. 이어 무대에 오른 시마 버마(Seema Verma) 미국 의료서비스센터(CMS)
Stigma and discrimination in behavioral health, while improving, remain obstacles to people seeking care. And any obstacles need to be addressed, because those struggling with behavioral health and mental illness are simply not getting the help they need. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, “The percentage of young
