Big data analytics involves the process of examining large amounts of varied data sets in order to uncover correlations, hidden patterns, and other useful insights.

The healthcare industry has vast amounts of complex, heterogeneous medical and clinical data. Applying big data analytics to health data holds significant potential for deriving insights that can improve the delivery of healthcare services. However, the scale and complexity of these datasets present substantial challenges in analysis and practical application within a clinical environment.

In this instructor-led, live training (remote), participants will learn how to perform big data analytics in healthcare as they step through a series of hands-on, live-lab exercises.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure big data analytics tools such as Hadoop MapReduce and Spark
• Understand the characteristics of medical data
• Apply big data techniques to manage and analyze medical data
• Study big data systems and algorithms in the context of healthcare applications

Audience

• Developers
• Data Scientists

Format of the Course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises, and extensive hands-on practice.

Apache Hadoop is the most widely used framework for processing Big Data on clusters of servers. In this three (optionally four) day course, participants will learn about the business benefits and use cases for Hadoop and its ecosystem, how to plan cluster deployment and growth, and how to install, maintain, monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize Hadoop. They will also practice bulk data load on clusters, become familiar with various Hadoop distributions, and practice installing and managing Hadoop ecosystem tools. The course concludes with a discussion on securing the cluster using Kerberos, ensuring robust security measures for government applications.
