What is the current state of development of analyzing and mining healthcare big data? What kind of application prospects will there be in the future

Big data combined with the medical industry development prospects are very optimistic, according to the Prospective Industry Research Institute "2016-2021 China's big data industry development prospects and investment strategy planning analysis report", hospitals and the medical industry is facing big data are mainly medical images, video (teaching, monitoring) and literature and other unstructured data. Due to the rapid growth and complex structure of these data, it puts greater pressure on data management and utilization, with increasing storage and management costs, difficulties in data utilization, and low utilization rates. In addition to the rapid increase in the volume and form of data, medical data requires increasingly long retention periods. Once there is a problem with the security of the storage system, resulting in the loss of medical data, the hospital will face a serious adverse situation. The application of medical big data should ensure the comprehensiveness, accuracy, real-time and ease of use of the data, be able to quickly calculate and quickly display, and be closely integrated with the daily work platform.

The Prospect Industry Research Institute believes that in the face of the challenge of "big data", hospitals must consider three major issues.

(1) Is data storage safe and reliable? Because once the system fails, the first test is the data storage, disaster recovery and recovery capabilities. If the data can not be quickly recovered, and recovery can not be to the breakpoint, it will constitute a direct damage to the hospital's business, patient satisfaction.

(2) How to improve the efficiency of hospital operations and services? Improving efficiency means saving doctors' time, thus easing the tension in medical resources, and to a certain extent helping to solve the problem of "difficult to see the doctor".

(3) How to control the cost of big data? Whether the storage architecture is reasonable, not only affects the cost of the hospital IT system, but also about the hospital's operating costs, the surge in medical data, so that hospitals generally have a large storage capacity expansion pressure. Today, most of the storage devices in hospitals are completely heterogeneous storage systems composed of different vendors. These different storage devices are controlled and managed using their own different software tools, which increases the complexity of the entire system and makes management costs very high.
