> This large scale data analytics is probable the best (or at least usually fastest) way to solve the worlds big health challenges I would guess. Judging from previous performance of using statistical analysis to study health, I don't see it solving anything major. Health is mostly a combinations of genetics and healthy routines. People already have a good idea of how they could improve their routines/diets--they choose not to. Healthy routines are hard. So unless the massive data sets are related to genetics, I don't see them contributing much. Also good luck "anonymizing" genetic data!
