Big Data Peeps At Your Medical Records to
Find Drug Problems
No one likes it when a new drug in people's
medicine cabinets turns out to have problems — just remember the Vioxx debacle
a decade ago, when the painkiller was removed from the market over concerns
that it increased the risk of heart attack and stroke.
To do a better job of spotting unforeseen
risks and side effects, the Food and Drug Administration is trying something
new — and there's a decent chance that it involves your medical records.
