Abstract
Every minute of the day, approximately 3 petabytes (in bytes, that would be a number with 15 zeros!) of internet data are generated. Considering the exposome, many of them can be declared as health-related data in a narrower or broader sense. Only computers provide a solution for the analysis of these gigantic amounts of data for the purpose of individual diagnoses.
