US healthcare provider the Renown Institute for Heath Innovation has selected SAS Analytics to develop a platform to examine genetic, clinical, environmental and socioeconomic data to identify population health risks from variables such as gender, age and personal or family health history. The data has been generated by the Healthy Nevada Project and the platform will also model public health risks, such as disease and illness, and environmental factors such as air quality. “Health is an important issue in Nevada, but we have not had access to this type of data,” said Dr. David Anderson, CEO of Renown. The second phase will enrol another 40,000 participants from March 2018.

The data has been generated by the Healthy Nevada Project and the platform will also model public health risks, such as disease and illness, and environmental factors such as air quality. The initial phase of the project enrolled 10,000 participants from which it collected DNA samples. The second phase will enrol another 40,000 participants from March 2018.
