Abstract
The healthcare sector is experiencing a digital transformation propelled by the Internet of Medical Things (IOMT), real-time patient monitoring, robotic surgery, Electronic Health Records (EHR), medical imaging, and wearable technologies. This proliferation of digital tools generates vast quantities of healthcare data. Efficient and timely analysis of this data is critical for enhancing patient outcomes and optimizing care delivery. Real-time processing of Healthcare Big Data (HBD) offers significant potential for improved diagnostics, continuous monitoring, and effective surgical interventions. However, conventional cloud-based processing systems face challenges due to the sheer volume and time-sensitive nature of this data. The migration of large datasets to centralized cloud infrastructures often results in latency, which impedes real-time applications. Furthermore, network congestion exacerbates these challenges, delaying access to vital insights necessary for informed decision-making. Such limitations hinder healthcare professionals from fully leveraging the capabilities of emerging technologies and big data analytics. To mitigate these issues, this paper proposes a Regional Computing (RC) paradigm for the management of HBD. The RC framework establishes strategically positioned regional servers capable of regionally collecting, processing, and storing medical data, thereby reducing dependence on centralized cloud resources, especially during peak usage periods. This innovative approach effectively addresses the constraints of traditional cloud processing, facilitating real-time data analysis at the regional level. Ultimately, it empowers healthcare providers with the timely information required to deliver data-driven, personalized care and optimize treatment strategies.
