  • The ability to collect and consolidate high volumes of patient’s data into a properly architected data warehouse. These data sources can include the hospital information system and Electronic Medical Records, the hospital’s Enterprise Resource Planning system, and devices (hospital equipment)
  • A platform for analytics that can scale dynamically to support the volume and movement of data and other required security and regulatory requirements.
  • A means to consume, visualize and analyze the data. The more intuitive and user-friendly the better. It also helps to have views that are tailored for the different roles of people who are using the system such as medical trained profession or a patient.

On the other-hand, patient with daily sickness such as viral infection can also allow for automation medication prescription where based on high volume of medical records and data put together.
