Big data is driving a revolution in the speed and extent of data applications, which are affecting every aspect of our lives. In medicine, the benefits of transformative research and innovation driven by data, are much vaunted, as new knowledge becomes accessible for the first time. However, legitimate concerns, such as social sorting and discrimination, which go beyond simple data privacy and security issues must be addressed if we are to fully realize the benefits of big data. It is imperative that whilst we embrace the benefits of big data technologies we also strive to understand the wider implications for society of these tools and techniques. This research will for the first time explore the societal impacts of big data in medicine and in doing so promote understanding of how balance can be achieved between individual protection and public benefit in the context of this new and potentially transformative digital technology.

大数据正在推动数据应用速度和范围的革命，影响着我们生活的方方面面。在医学领域，随着新知识首次变得可用，由数据驱动的变革性研究和创新的好处备受推崇。然而，如果我们要充分实现大数据的好处，就必须解决社会分类和歧视等合理问题，这些问题超出了简单的数据隐私和安全问题。当我们享受大数据技术的好处的同时，我们也必须努力了解这些工具和技术对社会的更广泛影响。这项研究将首次探讨医学大数据的社会影响，并在此过程中促进人们对如何在这种新的、具有潜在变革性的数字技术背景下实现个人保护和公共利益之间的平衡的理解。
