Abstract

Big Data is transforming healthcare, business, and ultimately society itself, as e-Health becomes one of key driving factors during the innovation process. We investigate BDeHS (Big Data e-Health Service) to fulfill the Big Data applications in the e-Health service domain. In this paper we explain why the existing Big Data technologies such as Hadoop, MapReduce, STORM and the like cannot be simply applied to e-Health services directly. We then describe the additional capabilities as required in order to make Big Data services for e-Health become practical. Next we report our design of the BDeHS architecture that supplies data operation management capabilities, regulatory compliance, and e-Health meaningful usages.
