B2i Healthcare "Powered by Spark" addition

Another addition to the Powered by Spark page:

B2i Healthcare (http://b2i.sg) uses Spark in healthcare analytics with
medical ontologies like SNOMED CT. Our Snow Owl MQ (
http://b2i.sg/snow-owl-mq) product relies on the Spark ecosystem to analyze
~1 billion health records with over 70 healthcare terminologies. An online
demo is available at https://mq.b2i.sg. Use cases include:

   - Creating cohorts to group patients with similar demographic traits,
   drug exposures, clinical findings, procedures, and observations (Spark
   Core, Spark SQL, GraphX)
   - Inspecting patient records to identify trends and correlations (SparkR)
   - Statistical analysis of patient cohorts to test and verify clinical
   hypotheses (MLlib)
   - Identification of potential adverse drug events and interactions with
   pharmacovigilance signal detection (Streaming)

Thanks,
Brandon
