Big data is revolutionizing industries across the world, and one of them is healthcare. It is changing the management of diabetes and helping diabetics get better care, that is tailor-made for each one of them. With the number of people with diabetes growing significantly, the right approach to the management of diabetes is needed to control this new challenge. One in every ten people has diabetes, a number that is double that of 20 years ago. However, although the number of diabetics has nearly doubled up, most of the patients still use manual methods to test their blood sugar and inject insulin after the test like they have been doing for ages.

As the world grapples to understand what COVID-19 is and finding vaccines that will work, researchers have already created more than 50,000 articles that have information about the coronavirus. That is a massive amount of information that can be too overwhelming to make sense from. Some companies are now coming up with ways of enabling researchers to search through the web and process information fast for use in research.

Data is the most valuable resource in any industry in today’s world. This is the reason why big data and data analytics are some of the most active topics you are likely to come across when you open the social media platform of your choice or search engines, all are awash with advertisements on these areas. With this importance, new tools and data collection methods are coming up almost weekly to enable people in different industries to collect data and use them to make informed decisions. Big data analytics allow us to find relationships through patterns in different aspects that have been impossible using traditional approaches.
