Description & Coverage
Description:

As technology evolves and electronic data becomes more complex, digital medical record management and analysis becomes a challenge. In order to discover patterns and make relevant predictions based on large data sets, researchers and medical professionals must find new methods to analyze and extract relevant health information.

Big Data Analytics in Bioinformatics and Healthcare merges the fields of biology, technology, and medicine in order to present a comprehensive study on the emerging information processing applications necessary in the field of electronic medical record management. Complete with interdisciplinary research resources, this publication is an essential reference source for researchers, practitioners, and students interested in the fields of biological computation, database management, and health information technology, with a special focus on the methodologies and tools to manage massive and complex electronic information.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Database Management
  • Genomics
  • Ontologies Construction
  • Protein/RNA structure prediction
  • Proteomics
  • Scalability and Efficiency
  • Search Architectures
  • System Biology and Pathways
Reviews & Statements

While emerging technology has made data entry much easier, it also presents a unique set of challenges for researchers and medical professionals. Data sets have grown so large that extracting and analyzing data with old methods has become challenging. However, these data sets also provide an exciting opportunity to understand large scale patterns and make predictions about health care. This book is a complete reference to new information processing technology that combines ideas from biology, chemistry and medical science in order to productively manage electronic medical records. Specific topics covered include database management, genomics, proteomics and scalability, among others.
