Abstract

The modern healthcare is developing even further than merely treating the illnesses once the symptoms appear. The hospitals, research laboratories, and healthcare organizations are rapidly transitioning to predictive and preventive medicine that is driven by big data analytics. Massive torrents of data gathered off electronic health records, wearable devices, smart sensors, medical imaging systems, genomic sequencing, and mobile healthcare applications are assisting physicians to detect health risks long before the illnesses become life threatening.
