The few things that separate science fiction from reality:
Research and development, feasibility studies, cost-benefit analyses,
business plans, project management plans,
marketing plans and investments...
​
You can get
ordinary health data
from consultation,
testing and diagnosis...
Or you can use technology
such as wearables and apps...
You can also use 259 medical tests
and 38 diagnostic tests
available in the United States*
At present, life expectancy in the United States is about 78 years...
Health big data is different from ordinary health data
because...
health big data includes
all the information about what you eat and drink...
Combine that
with health big data
from research...
Then include health big data from environmental exposures...
