What Are Some Examples of Big Data?

A look at real-world examples is the best way to learn about big data and how it is used. We’ll be briefly discussing some of the major industries that are using big data, and how they do it.

Big Data in Healthcare

Medical devices, electronic medical records, clinical research, and medical imaging all collect huge amounts of big data. Big data and big analytics are changing the way that healthcare providers treat patients. There are many important applications: analyzing lifestyle, genetic and social factors to predict and prevent certain diseases; using data for highly personalized medication and treatment plans (precision medication); detecting medication errors, identifying potentially dangerous adverse effects; monitoring disease trends to help develop effective health strategies. Recent research has shown that governments and healthcare providers are exploring the possibility of a track-and trace system to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

Marketing and Advertising Big Data

A company’s knowledge about its customers is a key factor in tailoring their products and services to them. Big data analytics plays a significant role in marketing and advertising. Marketers and advertisers make use of big data to get a complete picture of their customers and their behavior, sometimes in real time. This allows them to identify when a customer is likely to “drop out” and offer them an incentive or offer at the right moment. Data also allows for better audience segmentation. Instead of offering one-size-fits all products or services, companies can customize almost everything to each individual. The most obvious example is the often-accurate advertisements that appear while scrolling through Instagram. Marketers can also use data analytics to manage their brand reputation and discover what people think about their products or services through sentiment analysis.

Big Data in Logistics, Travel and Transport

Consider how many times you use Google Maps or a similar app to help you navigate from A to B. Or how eagerly you track the package that you just purchased from Amazon. These are only a few of the many pieces of the big data puzzle that the travel industry has assembled. Big data can be used on a larger scale to predict and monitor traffic along busy routes, track goods in transit to ensure fast delivery times, and monitor weather conditions in real time to reduce risk (for plane travel, for instance). The development of self-driving cars will also be influenced by big data.

Big Data in Education

Education has been a standardized, one-size fits all approach for many years. With the advent of big data analytics and big data, educators can now tailor their education models and overall learning experiences to meet the needs of each student.

Tampa is located on the Gulf Coast of Florida. The city’s boundaries include Tampa Bay’s north shore and Old Tampa Bay’s east shore. Tampa is the capital of Hillsborough County and the largest city in Tampa Bay. According to the 2020 census, Tampa has a population 384,959 and is the 52nd-most populated US city.

History

For thousands of years, the shores of Tampa Bay were inhabited. The area was home to a variant of the Weeden Island culture around 2000 years ago. Archeological evidence suggests that the residents depended heavily on the sea for their resources. Large swathes of inhabited sites were found near the shoreline, and little evidence of agriculture. At the time European contact took place in the early 16th centuries, the area was dominated by several Safety Harbor chiefdoms.

Climate

Although the Tampa Bay area is classified as a humid subtropical climate according to the Köppen Cfa, due to its location on Tampa Bay’s Florida peninsula and Gulf of Mexico, some of its characteristics are tropical. The climate of Tampa is hot and humid with frequent thunderstorms, and dry and mild winters.

Demographics

There were 157,130 households as of 2010. 13.5% of these were vacant. 26.6% of households had children younger than 18 years old living in them, 36.4% had married couples living together, 16.1% had female householders without husbands, and 42.9% were not families. 33.7% of all households consisted of individuals and 10.2% were composed of someone 65 years or older. The average household size was 2.36, and the average family size 3.07.

Transportation

From Tampa city limits, three motor vehicle bridges span Tampa Bay to Pinellas County: the Howard Frankland Bridge I-275, the Courtney Campbell Causeway SR 60 and the Gandy Bridge U.S. 92. In the 1990s, the Gandy Bridge was replaced completely by new spans. However, a portion of the bridge that was left was preserved and converted to a pedestrian/biking bridge.

Top Businesses

The economy of the region is shaped by finance, healthcare, insurance and shipping by air and water. Hillsborough County has 740,000 employees. This number is expected to rise to 922,000 by 2015.
