Contemporary Applications of Big Data in Science

 Healthcare - Data science used the data to identify and predict disease to personalise any healthcare recommendations. In 2008 Google created ‘Google Flu Trends’ which helped to map flu outbreaks by tracking location data on confirmed cases of the flu. But unfortunately it wasn’t successful. But it still showed the importance of data science in healthcare. Other examples are that Google developed a tool called LYNA that was used to identify breast cancer tumours because they can be difficult for people to see with just their eyes, this successfully identified nodes 99% of the time however it needs further testing before being able to be used by doctors in hospitals. Tracking periods by using apps such as ‘Clue’ to predict users menstrual cycles and also reproductive health by using things such as last start date, moods, stool type, hair condition and other different metrics. 

Sports - ‘Strong Analytics’ uses pre recorded footage to create detailed plan to help coaches to improve athlete performance. ‘WHOOP’ makes devices that athletes can wear to track their resting heart beat, sleep cycle, respiratory rate etc. because if this athletes can see when they should be pushing themselves at training and when they should be resting because of this they can make the most efficient steps to get the most out of their body and their fitness.
