6 cutting-edge technologies to help employers with big data

Organizations can link data collected in their workplace to implement a predictive analysis process in order to make better talent decisions. However, big data for the sake of big data just creates more work. So choose your vendor carefully. One software platform, for example, combines trend information on talent and business performance to determine the major drivers of engagement and retention, the factors that drive high-performers, gaps in the talent pool, and linkage to customer satisfaction and company success. The solution by KnowledgeAdvisors provides talent analytics designed to leverage big data so employers can discover hidden insights and predictive trends.

One smart-tech inhaler gathers data whenever a patient uses it, helping understand what triggers an asthma attack and how to avoid one. Propeller Health’s inhaler shows when and where the patient uses it and combines this data with weather information (such as wind and UV index) as well as traffic information. With this data, they can map a city for an asthmatic patient so they can avoid bad air locations and prevent potential asthma attacks.
