Innovative Technologies, the Premises of Big Data in Ehealth

Abstract:

Medical science is in the current global healthcare sector where innovation based on information and communications technology produces major changes that have the effect of patient centeredness. Using Big Data solutions for the healthcare system as it is both an opportunity to improve the quality of medical performance and cost optimization. In this paper we aimed to analyse the impact of applying innovative technologies based on Big Data in diabetes management. The purpose of the study was to determine patients' perception on adoption of innovative technologies for the prevention, detection and treatment of diabetes as well as their involvement in establishing own treatment plans. The data we collected through a questionnaire, and we processed them with SPSS v.24. According to the results obtained, we found that patients are open to upgrading treatment and sharing of new treatments. Furthermore, the study demonstrates the need to shift from traditional medical system at mHealth system - the premise of applying innovative technologies based on Big Data, cloud computing and smart mobile devices. Through integration and interoperability of such disparate information, the decision support system and knowledge management system will have a digital archive and mechanisms that will allow the addition of a new dimension in the treatment of the disease by prevention and personalized treatment.
