Automation and efficiency, improved decision making, and enhanced accuracy, are among the numerous benefits of integrating high level data analysis and optimization into various industrial activities. Companies around the world are utilizing the power of advanced analytics and refined data algorithms to handle tasks with greater precision, reducing the risk of human error while optimizing available resources. It is becoming increasingly crucial for improving overall efficiency in a number of fields from healthcare to finance, and so on.
A Certified Data Analyst and Biomedical Informatics Specialist, Nelly Nwosu, has continued to cross boundaries and fully harness the power of Data Science, applying extensive knowledge in data cleaning to ensure data consistency and accuracy, significantly improving overall data quality and accessibility. Holding a Master’s Degree in Health Services and Administration, and Biomedical Informatics from Midwestern State University and the University of Texas Health Science Center respectively, Nwosu has helped to make comprehensive health data analysis, including genetic predispositions, lifestyle factors, and medical history to improve quality of care and make informed decisions.
“With the University of Texas Health Science Center, I worked in a cross-functional role, collaborating with other researchers to analyze population health data to identify risk factors associated with colon cancer, contributing to strategic decision-making by healthcare providers. We were able to utilize analytics platforms to process data in raw, structured, semi-structured, and unstructured formats for annotating and extracting spatial information in ophthalmology clinical notes,” she said.
Nwosu holds a Doctorate Degree in Optometry from Abia State University, Uturu, and through practice, she has helped to improve the well-being of several patients through the introduction of a holistic approach to ocular care. In her role as an Optometrist at the National Assembly Hospital and the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Nwosu has helped to Accurately diagnose eye and vision problems in thousands of patients, conducting diagnostic tests including applanation tonometry, optical coherence tomography, and fundus photography.
“In the field of Optometry, I have helped to provide strategic vision, planning, and operational leadership diagnosing gaps in nursing care and reducing risks for patients. I have helped to make low vision services and extensive training available, using telescopes and prisms, and provided complete patient eye care, refraction, eyewear, and contact lens services. I have also conducted preliminary screening examinations including external examinations, central and peripheral visual fields, and color vision tests for aviation employees,” Nwosu said.
Nwosu’s outstanding work has also made significant contributions to the finance and commerce front, where she has applied comprehensive data strategy techniques for the integration of diverse data sources, which have helped to enhance efficiency, improve data insights, and take better business decisions
“I have designed effective data models that predict workload distribution, and improve customer service, capacity planning, and employee retention; resulting in a large cost savings ratio, from avoiding new hires. These measures have helped to mitigate risks and enhance data analysis accuracy by understanding business requirements for systematic code review,” she added.
