Advances in the Application of Biological Big Data in Medicine

Abstract

Advances in technology and the Internet have brought about the era of big data, and massive amounts of data have swept through almost every industry, especially in the medical field. With the penetration and expansion of information, countries around the world have started to build databases to explore the mysteries of health. In addition, the application of data storage, mining and analysis technologies in medicine has led to the involvement of biological big data in the study of many diseases. Long-term practice has revealed that combining biomacro data to analyze diseases can lead to more beneficial prevention and treatment options than conventional methods, which is a more favorable choice than ordinary methods. This review will present the progress of extensive data in medical research from the perspective of biological big data and neurodegenerative diseases (NDD), tumor, diabetes, and other applications, as well as the challenges and future directions of big data in medicine.
