Abstract:
Since the development of high-throughput technology, electronic medical record system and big data technology, the value of medical data has caused more attention. On the other hand, the proposal of Precision Medicine Initiative opens up the prospect for medical big data. As a Tool-related Discipline, Epidemiology is, focusing on exploitation the resources of existing big data and promoting the integration of translational research and knowledge to completely unlocking the "black box" of exposure-disease continuum. It also tries to accelerating the realization of the ultimate goal on precision medicine. The overall purpose, however is to translate the evidence from scientific research to improve the health of the people.
