Big data, we have all heard, promise to transform health care with the widespread capture of electronic health records and high-volume data streams from sources ranging from insurance claims and registries to personal genomics and biosensors. 1 Artificial-intelligence and machine-learning predictive algorithms, which can already automatically drive cars, recognize spoken language, and detect credit card fraud, are the keys to unlocking the data that can precisely inform real-time decisions. But in the “hype cycle” of emerging technologies, machine learning now rides atop the “peak of inflated expectations.” 2Prediction is not new to medicine. From risk scores to guide anticoagulation (CHADS2) and the use of cholesterol medications (ASCVD) to risk stratification of patients in the intensive care unit (APACHE), data-driven clinical predictions are routine in medical practice. In combination with modern machine learning, clinical data sources enable us to rapidly generate prediction models for thousands of similar clinical questions. From early-warning systems for sepsis to superhuman imaging diagnostics, the potential applicability of these approaches is substantial.
