Abstract:

Big data is the new technology revolution that is changing the world. Big data technology has been created in order to analyze enormous volumes of structured and unstructured data that conventional technology has been incapable of coping with. This data is analyzed and processed at incredible capacity and speed using commodity computers. Big data will make it possible for healthcare providers to build data driven health information systems to make informed real time critical evidence-based decisions based on local and global data collected from various resources. Big Data Lake is even a newer concept of storing all data in a natural format and using it for various analytical purposes at any time in the future. The new trend is to combine big data lake and cloud computing in a hybrid fashion to empower caregivers to keep their sensitive data local and store and process public information on the cloud. This talk will focus on the big data lake and cloud computing and will highlight its huge impact on all aspects of healthcare including cost reduction, patient safety and improving healthcare outcomes.
