Big data analytics refers to the process of analysing large and diverse datasets to uncover correlations, hidden patterns, and other valuable insights.

The healthcare sector contains vast quantities of complex, heterogeneous medical and clinical data. Applying big data analytics to health data offers significant potential for generating insights that can improve healthcare delivery. However, the sheer size and complexity of these datasets present considerable challenges in terms of analysis and practical implementation within clinical environments.

In this instructor-led, live remote training, participants will learn how to conduct big data analytics in the health domain by progressing 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 key characteristics of medical data
• Apply big data techniques to manage and analyse medical data
• Examine big data systems and algorithms in the context of healthcare applications

Audience

• Developers
• Data Scientists

Course Format

• A combination of lecture, discussion, exercises, and extensive hands-on practice.

Apache Hadoop is the most widely adopted framework for processing Big Data across clusters of servers. In this three-day course (optionally extended to four days), participants will explore the business benefits and real-world use cases of Hadoop and its ecosystem. They will learn how to plan cluster deployment and growth, as well as how to install, maintain, monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize Hadoop environments. The course also includes hands-on practice with bulk data loading, familiarisation with various Hadoop distributions, and managing tools within the Hadoop ecosystem. The programme concludes with a discussion on securing the cluster using Kerberos.

“…The materials were exceptionally well-prepared and comprehensively covered. The lab sessions were highly beneficial and meticulously organised.”
