Abstract

Smart medical technologies, combine Internet of Things, cloud computing and artificial intelligence technologies, are redefining the family life. With the advent of the era of big data, traditional medical service systems cannot meet the needs of big data processing in the current medical system because of the limited computing resources, slow operation speed and poorly distributed processing capacity. In this chapter, cloud-based smart medical system applying MapReduce distributed processing technology is proposed to solve these problems. A new distributed k-nearest neighbour (kNN) algorithm that combines the Voronoi-inverted grid (VIG) index and the MapReduce programming framework is developed to improve the efficiency of the data processing. Here, VIG is a spatial index, which uses the grid structure and the inverted index based on Voronoi partitioning technology. The results of extensive experimental evaluations indicate the efficiency and scalability of the proposed approach with real and synthetic data sets.
