Advancements in medical research have gathered pace with the availability of big data and ML. With all the data at hand, researchers are forever trying to find better cures. Varied data available for analysis helps in understanding why a particular treatment modality worked in a population group while it failed to bring the desired response in another, blood thinners working in one patient population and not working in another is an example. Researchers are using genetic information to personalise drug treatments [25].

Using algorithms, scientists have been able to identify molecules that activate a particular protein which is relevant to symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia; this could lead to early development of drugs for the treatment of these as yet incurable diseases [26].
