Abstract
Although big data and deep learning techniques are sprawled across various industries, the significance of such innovative technologies can extend to save lives. The amount of data available in the healthcare industry is vast and if put to use in the right direction can assist doctors and healthcare professionals in making informed medical decisions. Deep learning empowered big data analytics can present new opportunities in the field of biomedical and healthcare informatics, medical diagnosis, and digital healthcare. Biomedical devices and applications need to collect, store, and process large amounts of medical data every day. In such cases, big data tools can seamlessly automate the tasks of extracting useful and relevant information from large datasets with the help of deep learning and neural networks. The management of big data tasks has been assisted by parallel computing such as MapReduce by Google, Hadoop, cloud computing etc. Biomedical devices such as smart biomaterials, smart wearable sensors, biomedical imaging systems, and eye-tracking systems collect healthcare data and send them to a centralized or decentralized system for analysis. The collaboration of deep learning algorithms with big data analytics can detect existing links between the data and probable risks, aid with medical decision making and diagnosis, and improve the quality and speediness of the current healthcare systems.
Deep learning assisted big data analytics can revolutionize the digital healthcare service. Deep learning models and algorithms can effectively analyse the health data, symptoms, diagnostic results, and other health parameters of a patient. These types of disruptive healthcare technologies can enable real-time data collection and remote health monitoring through sensors or mobile health applications, predict medical conditions and risks, and suggest suitable medications or fix medical appointments. The existing deep learning models can analyse both structured and unstructured data types. This can seamlessly improve the current state of health records and patient monitoring through digital healthcare systems. Also, deep learning models can be used to identify or classify health insurance frauds. In spite of the advantages, data heterogeneity, privacy and security, traceability and accountability of medical data, adequate system architecture etc. are the existing challenges that need to be addressed through innovative techniques and disruptive technologies.
