Abstract

This concluding chapter focuses on three trends that will affect the future direction of healthcare analytics. Artificial intelligence (AI), which was covered earlier, will be revisited along with the Internet of Things (IoT). The chapter then introduces the concept of big data with its characteristics, known as Vs. The chapter then covers key benefits that are expected from big data analytics in the healthcare industry. The chapter touches upon some ethical concerns, future trends, suggestions for experimenting with healthcare analytics demos, a conclusion, and a list of references.
