Big Data Technology and Healthcare Informatics

Big data refers to massive information assets that are so large in volume, grow so rapidly, and are too complex in type that they require “new processing models” to enhance decision-making capabilities and provide deeper insights. Specifically, big data refers to the type of information that traditional methods cannot collect, store, manage, or process effectively due to the sheer scale of the data sets which exceed the processing capacity of conventional methods, often requiring more powerful tools for handling.
