ABSTRACT

This chapter reviews the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data platform, integrating healthcare systems, cloud databases, ECG hardware, artificial intelligence, and machine learning software, expecting to improve the health status of human beings. With the digitization and combining of data in order to use big data, healthcare sectors, ranging from doctors’ offices to large hospital groups, can receive significant advantages. The purpose of healthcare systems when adopting big data solutions is to make the patients’ lives easier and healthcare more efficient. The goal of big data in healthcare is to provide better treatment and a personalized diagnosis for patients. With the help of the IoT, monitoring and collection of data is very easy and feasible as data can be collected from anyone anywhere, and the sharing of the data is also very cost-effective because it is stored on the cloud. With the advancement in cloud storage, storing and accessing data has become easy.
