 #What Is Big Data in Healthcare and How Is It Already Being Used?
Introduction
Big data in healthcare refers to the vast quantities of data—created by the mass adoption of the Internet and digitization of all sorts of information, including health records. With the emergence of novel big data technologies, healthcare organizations can use these data to analyze and merge more quickly, giving patients more professional advice and predict the external direction of the disease from a more accurate perspective, so that patients can take preventive measures earlier.

The application of big data has brought unprecedented breakthroughs in medical care, not only providing doctors with more accurate diagnosis and treatment, but also providing patients with more personalized treatment. Through the analysis of data, doctors can know how the differences between patients and treatments affect health outcomes. Based on the analysis of these data, doctors can provide a more complete treatment plan. Moreover, through the analysis of genomic data, you can accurately predict the development mode and probability of cancer or other diseases. For example, Emory University and the Aflac Cancer Center partnered with a genomic data analytics organization called NextBio to study data related to medulloblastoma, the most common malignant brain tumor among children. The main purpose of the application of big data analysis in medical treatment is to improve the treatment effect of patients. On the other hand, the benefit is that it can save many costs. For instance, the state of Rhode Island has partnered with InterSystems to use its HealthShare Active Analytics tool to collect and analyze patient data on a statewide level. Therefore, plenty of medical practitioners are working on this nowadays.
