The Fusion and Integration of Data Science and Healthcare

Abstract

This research focused on identifying and highlighting the significance of integrating data science techniques into the healthcare industry. The research involved exploring applications of data science in healthcare, addressing technical barriers, and developing strategies for successful integration. The collected data was analysed and compared with existing literature to validate the results. Findings showed that while the healthcare industry has had a brief introduction to data science techniques, there is need for improvement on implementing those techniques. Lack of adequate training, awareness, skill and exposure have affected the integration of data science techniques in health. This study is concluded with recommendations on how to effectively integrate and fuse data science and health.
