Handbook of Research: Big Data Methodologies and the

Internet of Things for Improved Health Systems
A book edited by
Dr. Brojo Kishore Mishra, Raghvendra Kumar

To be published by IGI Global:

Introduction

Big data storage and processing is considered as one of the main applications for cloud computing systems.
Moreover, the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm has advanced the research on Machine to
Machine (M2M) communications and also has enabled novel tele-monitoring architectures for E-health
applications. E-health is an emergent topic that poses several challenges to multiple disciplines, such as
Computer Science, Engineering, Health and Social Sciences. Cloud computing, Big data and Internet of Things
(IoT) are the prevalent Information and Communication Technology (ICT) paradigms, whose attributes can
collaborate to structure the future of E-health systems. Big data in E-health enables the metamorphosis of
hypothesis driven research to data-driven research by processing large volumes of hypothetical medical data.
Furthermore, by using a search based routine, it is probable to realize feeble signals in Big data. The Internet of
Things (IoT) is a network of physical devices and other items, embedded with electronics, software, sensors,
and network connectivity, which enables these objects to collect and exchange data. Its impact on medicine
will be perhaps the most important, and personal, effect. By 2020, 40% of IoT-related technology will be
health-related, more than any other category, making up a $117 billion market. The convergence of medicine
and information technologies, such as medical informatics, will transform healthcare as we know it, curbing
costs, reducing inefficiencies, and saving lives. This revolution in medicine will look in a typical IoT hospital, in
practice. A patient with diabetes will have an ID card that, when scanned, links to a secure cloud which stores
their electronic health record vitals and lab results, medical and prescription histories. Physicians and nurses
can easily access this record on a tablet or desktop computer.

Objective of the Book

A number of technologies can reduce overall costs for the prevention or management of chronic illnesses.
These include devices that constantly monitor health indicators, devices that auto-administer therapies, or
devices that track real-time health data when a patient self-administers a therapy. Because they have increased
access to high-speed Internet and smart phones, many patients have started to use mobile applications (apps)
to manage various health needs. These devices and mobile apps are now increasingly used and integrated with
telemedicine and telehealth via the medical Internet of Things (mIoT). This book reviews mIoT and big data in
healthcare fields.
