In healthcare management, a large volume of multi-structured patient data is generated from the clinical reports, doctor's notes, and wearable body sensors. The analysis of healthcare parameters and the prediction of the subsequent future health conditions are still in the informative stage. A cloud-enabled big data analytic platform is the best way to analyze the structured and unstructured data generated from healthcare management systems. In this paper, a probabilistic data collection mechanism is designed and the correlation analysis of those collected data is performed. Finally, a stochastic prediction model is designed to foresee the future health condition of the most correlated patients based on their current health status. Performance evaluation of the proposed protocols is realized through extensive simulations in the cloud environment, which gives about 98% accuracy of prediction, and maintains 90% of CPU and bandwidth utilization to reduce the analysis time. Big data, cloud, healthcare, prediction.

Use of information and communication technology such as smart phone, smart watch, smart glass and portable health monitoring devices for healthcare services has made Mobile Health (mHealth) an emerging research area. Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is considered as a leading cause of death world wide and an increasing number of people die prematurely due to CHD. Under such circumstances, there is a growing demand for a reliable cardiac monitoring system to catch the intermittent abnormalities and detect critical cardiac behaviors which lead to sudden death. Use of mobile devices to collect Electrocardiography (ECG), Seismocardiography (SCG) data and efficient analysis of those data can monitor a patient’s cardiac activities for early warning. This paper presents a novel cardiac data acquisition method and combined analysis of Electrocardiography (ECG) and multi channel Seismocardiography (SCG) data. An early warning system is implemented to monitor the cardiac activities of a person and accuracy assessment of the early warning system is conducted for the ECG data only. The assessment shows 88% accuracy and effectiveness of our proposed analysis, which implies the viability and applicability of the proposed early warning system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
