Data Science plays an important role in the effective treatment of various diseases

Senior research fellow of the Institute of Information Technology Hicran Gozelova presented a report  on subject  “Data Science and its projections on medical specialties”. The amount of data in the health sector has increased significantly over the past decade, she said. According to analysts, digital data in health sector  forms  30 percent of the world's data.   Big Data forms the basis of model and program proposed to maintain world’s population long and healthy life.

As a result of the analysis  of Big Data interactive data  collection , it is possible to analyses hazards in human health,  predict outbreaks, cure diseases and  improve lifestyle,she stated. New theories and methods, analytical tools  can help doctors and  scholars to detect  unknown knowledge  in Big Data .

Stating that Data science is an interdisciplinary field about processes and systems to extract knowledge or insights from data  in various forms, H.Gozelova stated that , the term  was used initially as a substitute for computer science by Peter Naur in 1960. However,the term  has been used widely since 1990s . It is no coincidence that, -  the International Council for Science: Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA )was founded in 1966.

As a result  of extension of multidisciplinary fields in science, influence of Big Data to various activity fields,as well as,to medicine area demand  for the teaching Data Science programs  has been increased  in order to train personnel,she noted.

In the end, there was an exchange of views on the subject, many questions were answered.
