Healthcare systems today are increasingly reliant on data gathered from multiple hospital systems, patient records or IoT devices. As more information is gathered, there is a need to ensure the data is kept and used securely. This edited book looks at secure big data analytics for healthcare and how the wealth of information is disseminated through open wireless channels to provide seamless coverage so that people can access and analyse the results obtained and intelligently manage and respond to a patient's needs.

EHRs are growing in complexity over time and requiring increasing amounts of data storage.
