Data Traffic Forecast in Health 4.0

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Health 4.0: How Virtualization and Big Data are Revolutionizing Healthcare

Abstract

This chapter discusses the expected implications of Health 4.0 on hospital and general healthcare system data traffic. The interactive nature of Health 4.0 introduces an unprecedented complexity of stakeholder relations related to the access, storage, transmission, and governance of data in the domain of healthcare and beyond: data is made available through governed channels to healthcare-providing stakeholders, to researchers, for purposes of personalized care provision, for reasons of public interest, and for the use by the data owner itself through smart devices, etc. This chapter describes the status quo of data traffic in a modern German hospital, outlines the ongoing and future trends towards informated healthcare provision, digitalization and virtualization of care and Personalized Medicine (Health 4.0), and based on these foundations makes an informed estimation of the future data traffic characteristics.
