“Machine learning is probably the most important fundamental trend in technology today.”

“… the foundation of machine learning is data - lots and lots of data”

With machine learning, instead of writing rules, you give examples (lots of examples) to a statistical engine, and that engine generates a model that can tell the difference. You give it 100,000 pictures labelled ‘cat’ and 100,000 labelled ‘no cat’ and the machine works out the difference.

A combination of 16 datasets are used to inform the algorithms, including data about patients’ behavioral health claims, chronic disease history and interactions with pharmacies. The algorithms were built with the help of in-house staff. Over the past few years, Cigna has hired more than 1,000 data scientists, software engineers and analytics experts

… began building a predictive model, using machine learning and predictive analytics, that identifies customers likely to overdose within the next month.

During a yearlong pilot program that ended in June 2018, Cigna identified about 1,130 customers for outreach.

New World of Smart Pig Production

• Automated Production Data Analysis

• Real-time

• Detect changes

• Predict

• Human observation no longer the “gold standard” of animal husbandry

• Retrospective analysis will become “project work”
