The landscape of healthcare is rapidly evolving, with big data and machine learning at the forefront of this transformation. In the EJP RD’s “Innovative Therapies and Personalized Medicine for Rare Diseases” MOOC, led by CVBF, experts Dr. Claudia Pansieri, Health Research Project Manager at CVBF and Dr. Giorgio Reggiardo, Head of Biostatistics Unit at CVBF, offer valuable insights into how these technologies are revolutionizing personalized medicine.

Dr. Reggiardo introduces big data in healthcare by highlighting its three primary key characteristics: volume, velocity, and variety. Dr.Pansieri expands on this, explaining that healthcare big data encompasses vast quantities of biomedical information from sources. The impact of big data on healthcare is significant.
It enables earlier diagnosis, improves treatment efficacy, enhances disease prevention, and allows for more accurate prediction of clinical outcomes.

Both experts stress the importance of data quality, introducing the FAIR Principles: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. These guidelines ensure effective and secure use of clinical data while protecting patient privacy.

Computational models and artificial intelligence methods are essential for analysing large volumes of data and achieving automated decision-making. Real-world applications of these technologies include Electronic Health Records (EHRs), Clinical Decision Support (CDS) Software, and improved diagnosis of rare diseases. However, challenges remain, such as ensuring data quality from diverse sources, developing more accurate predictive models, and incorporating real-life data from sensors and tracking devices. As the field progresses, navigating the complex interactions between drugs and individual patient characteristics will be key to realizing the full potential of personalized medicine. The contributions of Claudia and Giorgio to this MOOC highlight the transformative potential of big data and machine learning in healthcare, promising more precise, personalized, and effective treatments for patients worldwide.
