it's gotta be something to do with some process we are doing differently, there is so many variables to take into consideration, i know people are super privacy these days but we really could benefit if we allow some of our data to be cross referenced in order to find more connections between what we eat and what medicines we take, it's probably already being done somewhere but think of all the grocery stores that have pharmacies, our eating habits may reflect a deeper health issue, connect that with opt in pharmacy data and possible geographic location we might be able to pin point causation.
- f6v 5y agoIt’s tempting to see more data as the solution to everything. Yet, a lot of data creates a high-dimensional space where all the points are really far apart(aka the curse of dimensionality). That’s one of the reasons genome-wide association studies are often frowned upon. With many genetic variants making a tiny contribution to a disease it’s challenging to find the cause.
