Big data analytics is finally paying dividends, says Fullerton, which mainly provides outpatient healthcare services to corporates and insurers through a network of 225 wholly owned clinics across six countries and 8,000 medical provider partners around the world. CIO Ted Minkinow says that Fullerton, working with Microsoft, has been able to identify potential fraud and wastage in Singapore. He also claims that big data can now predict with 70% accuracy over a two-year period which patients will have a major healthcare problem such as a heart attack. “It is more accurate than the doctor” he says. We also profile Fullerton.
