"The intersection of the computational, biological, and medical sciences is poised to revolutionize personalized medicine across a vast spectrum of diseases and in low, medium, and high income countries. This new book, Data Driven Science for Clinically Actionable Knowledge in Diseases, serves as a fantastic overview of the space for all stakeholders. The text enables readers to learn both about the trajectory of the space, and to identify specific technical use cases where success has been shown and which can be re-deployed into new systems."
– Dr Noah Berlow, First Ascent Biomedical
"Health data is inherently complex and collected via wildly diverse channels. This book shows how leveraging health data is difficult, difficult to collect, and difficult to synthesise, but how much patient care can be improved when it is done well."
– Prof David Skillicorn, Queens University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada
