A case study in transferring a life sciences IT infrastructure fully into the cloud By Kevin Davies February 14, 2012 | Over the past few years, many life science organizations have dabbled in cloud computing and explored infrastructure-as-a-service, with varying degrees of enthusiasm and commitment.

Is Club Drug 'Special K' a Quick Fix for Depression?
About 30 million Americans suffer from depression, and when a sudden wave of severe symptoms hits them, there's no instant fix.
The most commonly prescribed drugs — Prozac, Celexa and Zoloft — take a few weeks to kick in, and in the meantime, depressed people are at an escalated risk of suicide. More than half the time, the prescribed drug doesn't end up working at all, and patients must start over with a different treatment. Top insurers begin the use of mobile apps for health support. Health insurers have taken a technological leap forward by introducing new wellness and diagnostic apps that their policyholders can use with their mobile devices.
The largest American health coverage plans are now offering mobile websites and other capabilities for these devices that allow their customers to obtain the information they need, such as the contact information of a physician, their member card information, or a billing address. Furthermore, there will also soon be apps available that will have a more direct connection to the health of the patient. The hope is to offer an app that will let the policyholder take appropriate action to stay healthy, diagnose a health condition, and even improve the communication between the patient and his or her doctor. According to Aetna’s vice president for consumer marketing and product, Meg McCabe, “We’re absolutely going beyond the basic.” She went on to state that “The goal is to engage people in health and wellness.” The Smart List 2012: 50 people who will change the world.

Parallel R Model Prediction Building and Analytics. Modifying R code to run in parallel can lead to huge performance gains. Although a significant amount of code can easily be run in parallel, there are some learning techniques, such as the Support Vector Machine, that cannot be easily parallelized. However, there is an often overlooked way to speed up these and other models. It involves executing the code that generates predictions and other analytics in parallel, instead of executing the model building phase in parallel, which is sometimes impossible. Why Big Data Won’t Make You Smart, Rich, Or Pretty. This year will be the year of Big Data.
