Data analytics technology has had a profound impact on the state of the financial industry. A growing number of financial institutions are using analytics tools to make better investing decisions and insurers are using analytics technology to improve their underwriting processes. However, there is an area that is being shaped by analytics technology that has not gotten as much attention – tax compliance.

While healthcare has evolved in many keyways over the last several decades, there are still several groups of individuals who find themselves without access to appropriate healthcare resources. One of these groups is rural residents, who face a number of challenges when it comes to having access to healthcare. Fortunately, data-driven approaches are emerging as potent solutions to this obstacle.

To curb this trend, scientists release a research plan for evolutionary medicine, guiding the way for innovative biomedical therapies and more effective public health measures. The word ‘evolution’ may bring to mind dusty dinosaur bones, but it impacts our health every day.
