Personal diabetes care to be delivered through £1m big data project

[Northerner]

Health advisory firm Outcomes Based Healthcare and data service provider Big Data Partnership have secured a match-funded grant for a £1 million diabetes care project from Innovate UK, the UK’s innovation agency.

The partners aim to support a more personalised, data-driven approach to improving health outcomes for people with diabetes.

Until now, big data and advanced analytics have been used in healthcare to predict cost of care, or chance of hospital re-admission. This project, the partners said, will take this technology a step further. They will create a dashboard that provides "deep insights" into disease progression, to enable doctors and patients to make better decisions about their health.
