Chronic Diseases and Health Monitoring Big Data: A Survey

Abstract-With the technology development of the data science and the network technology, the world has stepped into a big data era. Medical area includes vast amount of data which is suitable for data analysis. Lots of research work in medical big data has been done in recent years, targeting on data collection, data analysis and visualization. However, very few research work provides a full survey of the medical big data on chronic diseases and health monitoring. To get a comprehensive understanding of big data in big medical data, especially in chronic diseases and health monitoring area. This paper investigates recent research efforts, and conducts a comprehensive overview of the work on medical big data. It focuses on the full cycles of the big data processing, which includes medical big data preprocessing, big data tools and algorithm, big data visualization, security issues in big data. It also tried to fill the gap between common big data technology and medical special needs by analyzing detail implementation of medical big data. To the best of our knowledge,this is the first survey that targets the chronic diseases and health monitoring big data technologies.
