Big Data in Engineering Applications

Abstract

This chapter presents an analysis of the infrastructure of big data, the elements that make it up, the types of data that define it, and the characteristics that distinguish it as a child: Volume, speed, variety, veracity and volatility. In a concrete way, different applications based on this architecture are analyzed, from which it is possible to find health, internet of things, among other applications. A description of the data used in health is performed, which is possible to manage effectively with a model based on big data. Finally, the proposal of a health model for Mexico is presented, based on an infrastructure that allows the integration and sharing of information, the administration of medical histories, public health and research data in the health area, all of them as a basis to carry out data analysis, to support decision-making and to serve as a basis for the creation of Institutional health programs. It concludes with evidence of the significant contribution that a big data model can give to the health sector in Mexico.
