PI (Predictive Informatics) can forecast the possible outcomes of a particular disease and help in decision making in case of critical medical issues. It helps to extract the patient's core data and create a specific data forecasting the future outcomes.

PI is helpful because it:

-reduces the severity of disease in future

-predicts future outcomes

-saves time and lives by keeping an eye on the health data of a patient.

-acts as a watchdog to identify risks.
