How large the data could be?
The recent August <Significance> brought the spacial data in physics to its audience in the first published article. Millions of millions of millions ... data, counted by size on the hard drive, not by the number of observations would become at hand day by day.
The DNA, Microarray data, as the following picture, from Stanford as an example, would be ready for analysis for large amount of people, in order to find the associated module/gene to the disease.
Currently, most of the patients' data would be electronically, i.e. EMR. The current MEDSCAPE call for the attention of all the clinicians - are you ready for the electronic medical records or electronic health records (EHRs)? The health reform could make the larger medical data even larger, with quickly growing population, and large insured population.
Are you ready for the associated analysis and complicated data management ?!
