Chapter 19 - An extensive discussion on utilization of data security and big data models for resolving healthcare problems

Abstract

Technology plays a key role in taking several preventive steps and performing several advanced techniques for improving general health and its related problems over many thousands of years. This method of operation for curing the health-related issues and other problems using technology has not changed till today. With a growing number of new inventions, the utilization of technology for health issues has grown; especially the utilization of Internet of Things (IoT) technology has grown a lot. As the utilization of IoT technology has increased in health and related issues, new opportunities have also risen. Some of the advanced features like the utilization of the sensors and biosensors with the combination of big data models have grown a lot. With the utilization of big data and its allied areas in the health issues, solutions have been found for some of the problems like the handling of huge amount of patient data and different types of data like the static and dynamic types of data with heterogeneous datasets. With the utilization of IoT and big data in the health-related areas, it has given birth to different types of medical applications to be developed and being used in various sectors of the country. The development of new technologies like ehealth and mhealth (stands for mobile health) is playing a key role in providing medical services to every corner or the remote locations of the country. The IoT has given even the big applications-based services to the public like the accessibility of the health-related services to the common public in villages; the treatment to be delivered to a patient is tailored to meet the patient’s condition. The people who had invested huge sums of money in establishing these technologies also got good returns, more than the expected amounts.
