This paper by Malykh and Rudetskiy "discusses different approaches to building a clinical decision support system based on big data," with a focus on non-biased processing methods and their comparative assessments. After an in-depth analysis of methods and objectives, the authors present their findings from the clinical decision support data and their significance. They conclude that case-based and precedent-based approaches each have their advantages--including more accurate recommendations and faster system speeds--but are not without disadvantages. The authors suggest future research is needed to address "problems with optimization of provided metrics, compression of state descriptions, and construction of training procedures."

In the world of so many cool applications, features and functionalities, “Jailbreaking” has become a standard practice for opening up possibilities in our electronics. Popular techniques are available for adding apps to Apple IOS and Android devices as well as media through Kodi in our Amazon Fire devices. While this process can give us what we crave moment to moment, it can also have unintended, dare we say it, evil effects on our devices. We can lose functionality in other applications, limit upgrade options or disable certain apps permanently.

When it comes to longitudinal data, what analysis methods are we using today? How can they be applied to clinical data? In this 2018 paper, Stura
et al. look at, for example, repeated data from measuring patient reactions and behaviors to a therapy. yet when analyzing this type of data problems arise; "more robust statistical methods" are required. The authors combine several methods to develop a "numerical tool based on optimization methods coupled with interpolation techniques." They conclude that it provides several benefits, including output displayed as "a (continuous) growth curve, allowing the analysis of each growth function independently of the others. "

In this 2018 paper, El aboudi and Benhilma discuss the data management architectures of healthcare from the perspective of Northern Africa. As part of their discussion, the authors propose "an extensible big data architecture based on both stream computing and batch computing in order to enhance further the reliability of healthcare systems by generating real-time alerts and making accurate predictions on patient health condition." With such an architecture, they conclude that, when implemented well, the healthcare system may be "capable of handling the high amount of data generated by different medical sources in real time."

In this 2018 paper published in
Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems, Fuertes
et al. describe and demonstrate the uses of CÆLIS, software designed to simplify the processing, management, and use of atmospheric particulate data. After describing the architecture and database model, the authors describe its functionality and real-world applications. The authors conclude that the automation the software brought to aerosol measurement and analysis has been significant, in that software "has reduced the number of human errors and allowed one to perform more in-depth and exhaustive analysis" while also allowing users to "perform queries and extract data in a fast and very flexible way."
