Big Data for Complex Disease

复杂疾病大数据专注于汇集关于患者的不同类型的信息，以更好地了解通过预测、诊断、治疗甚至预防复杂疾病来改善医疗保健的机会。这项工作最初将专注于癌症和心血管疾病(CVD)，这是导致英国和全球大多数疾病和死亡的复杂疾病(CVD包括一系列疾病，如心脏病发作、中风和心律失常)。该计划将使用来自整个英国人口(6000万至6500万人)的数据，提供新的工具和机会，以了解复杂疾病如何相互影响，以及人们的特征如何影响获得这些疾病的机会和结果。这一挑战将是一个机会，可以将这些不同疾病类型的专家聚集在一起，作为一个团队合作，以改善患者的护理。

Big Data for Complex Disease focuses on bringing together different types of information about patients to better understand opportunities to improve health care through the prediction, diagnosis, treatment or even prevention of complex disease. The work will initially focus on cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD) the complex diseases responsible for the majority of disease and death in the UK and globally (CVD includes a range of disease such as heart attacks, strokes and Arrhythmia).This programme will use data from the whole UK population (60-65 million people), providing new tools and opportunities to understand how complex diseases effect each other and how peoples characteristics impact the chance of getting and outcomes of these diseases. This challenge will be an opportunity to bring experts in these different diseases types together and work as a team to improve patient care.
