Big data in healthcare
Final super advanced machine learning model
Systolic Blood Pressure < 100
GCS < 13
Respiratory Rate > 22
This is healthcare’s “big data” model
Why aren’t we doing better?
Challenges
It’s HARD!
Challenges
“VA data did not include GCS”
“[no fluid output] … because of poor accuracy in recording”
“[no] … thrombin, urea levels”
Final cohort: 75,000

The biggest barrier to
machine learning in
healthcare is the lack of
access to high quality data
