Systematic analysis of healthcare big data analytics for efficient care and disease diagnosing

Abstract

Big data has revolutionized the world by providing tremendous opportunities for a variety of applications. It contains a gigantic amount of data, especially a plethora of data types that has been significantly useful in diverse research domains. In healthcare domain, the researchers use computational devices to extract enriched relevant information from this data and develop smart applications to solve real-life problems in a timely fashion. Electronic health (eHealth) and mobile health (mHealth) facilities alongwith the availability of new computational models have enabled the doctors and researchers to extract relevant information and visualize the healthcare big data in a new spectrum. Digital transformation of healthcare systems by using of information system, medical technology, handheld and smart wearable devices has posed many challenges to researchers and caretakers in the form of storage, minimizing treatment cost, and processing time (to extract enriched information, and minimize error rates to make optimum decisions). In this research work, the existing literature is analysed and assessed, to identify gaps that result in affecting the overall performance of the available healthcare applications. Also, it aims to suggest enhanced solutions to address these gaps. In this comprehensive systematic research work, the existing literature reported during 2011 to 2021, is thoroughly analysed for identifying the efforts made to facilitate the doctors and practitioners for diagnosing diseases using healthcare big data analytics. A set of rresearch questions are formulated to analyse the relevant articles for identifying the key features and optimum management solutions, and laterally use these analyses to achieve effective outcomes. The results of this systematic mapping conclude that despite of hard efforts made in the domains of healthcare big data analytics, the newer hybrid machine learning based systems and cloud computing-based models should be adapted to reduce treatment cost, simulation time and achieve improved quality of care. This systematic mapping will also result in enhancing the capabilities of doctors, practitioners, researchers, and policymakers to use this study as evidence for future research.

The usage of population and disease registries as pre-screening tools for clinical trials, a systematic review

“…Ni et al reported a 450% increase in efficacy of clinical trial pre-screening using electronic health record and not a patient registry, despite the fact that 10% of eligible patients were missed in the process [ 101 ]. More globally, data-driven technologies and strategies are more and more being reported in the literature, whether it is supporting prevention, diagnosis, or decision-making [ 103 – 106 ]. Such strategies’ impact on time optimization and associated cost reduction could be of great aid both to small trial centers working with limited staff and resources, and bigger trial centers dealing with a large volume of patients and trials.…”

Utilization of smart devices and the evolution of customized healthcare services focusing on big data: a systematic review

“…This work identifies several key features and optimal management designs proposed in the area of medical big data analysis to achieve efficacy in disease diagnosis, suggesting that the results of this systematic work should adjust advanced hybrid machine learning-based models and cloud computing applications to improve treatment quality. Therefore, this study will help policymakers, researchers, and practitioners to encourage the development of advanced disease diagnosis models, as well as to present the quality of improved treatment mechanisms for patients ( 41 ). While the issue of property rights over the value of personal information is being discussed, the reality is that data cannot provide clear valuation criteria for intangible assets and legal grounds for them.…”

An adaptive data-driven architecture for mental health care applications

“…In a study by Khan, Khan & Nazir (2022) comprehensive and systematic research spanning articles from 2011 to 2021 focused on analyzing the health care domain in disease diagnosis using data analytics. The findings suggested that integrating advanced hybrid machine learning-based models and cloud computing applications could bring several benefits to the health care sector.…”
