PurposeThe objective of this paper is to assess and synthesize the published literature related to the application of data analytics, big data, data mining and machine learning to healthcare engineering systems.Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted to obtain the most relevant papers related to the research study from three different platforms: EBSCOhost, ProQuest and Scopus. The literature was assessed and synthesized, conducting analysis associated with the publications, authors and content.FindingsFrom the SLR, 576 publications were identified and analyzed. The research area seems to show the characteristics of a growing field with new research areas evolving and applications being explored. In addition, the main authors and collaboration groups publishing in this research area were identified throughout a social network analysis. This could lead new and current authors to identify researchers with common interests on the field.Research limitations/implicationsThe use of the SLR methodology does not guarantee that all relevant publications related to the research are covered and analyzed. However, the authors' previous knowledge and the nature of the publications were used to select different platforms.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, this paper represents the most comprehensive literature-based study on the fields of data analytics, big data, data mining and machine learning applied to healthcare engineering systems.

El trabajo que se presenta tiene como objetivo el diseño de una propuesta de mecanismos automatizados fundamentados en machine learning para la mejora de la experiencia de los participantes en los cursos MOOC de la Universitat Politécnica de Valencia y la reducción de las tasas de abandono. Siguiendo una estrategia de investigación basada en el diseño IBD, en la que se ha priorizado siempre las decisiones pedagógicas por encima de las propias analíticas de datos, se han realizado tres iteraciones con distintos patrones metodológicos (revisión sistemática de literatura, machine learning basado en los datos de 260 cursos y más de 700.000 estudiantes, y creación de mecanismos automatizados) que siempre finalizan con la presentación de resultados y la realimentación por parte del equipo de la universidad. Las principales conclusiones de este trabajo indican que, de los veinticinco indicadores pedagógicos de abandono referidos por las revisiones bibliográficas en la iteración 1, solo se validan diez de ellos con los cursos de la UPV (no se tienen datos automáticos ni automatizables de los otros), y de esos finalmente solo seis de ellos son posibles predictores del abandono del alumnado, con los datos utilizados. Se proponen finalmente un conjunto de mecanismos automatizados que se aplicarán en la plataforma EdX de la universidad, para la mejora de la experiencia de los usuarios y la reducción de la tasa de abandonos en los cursos. The aim of this paper is to design a proposal for automated mechanisms based on machine learning to improve the experience of participants in MOOC courses at the Universitat Politécnica de Valencia and reduce dropout rates. Following a desing based research DBR design, in which pedagogical decisions have always been prioritised over data analytics, three iterations have been carried out with different methodological patterns (systematic literature review, machine learning based on data from 260 courses and 700.000 students, and creation of automated mechanisms) that always end with the presentation of results and feedback from the university team. The main conclusions of this work indicate that, of the twenty-five pedagogical dropout indicators referred to by the literature reviews in iteration 1, only ten of them are validated with UPV courses (no automated or automatable data are available for the others), and of those finally only six of them are possible predictors of student dropout, with the data used. Finally, a set of automated mechanisms are proposed to be applied in the university's EdX platform to improve the user experience and reduce the dropout rate in the courses.

Background: Immunization is a significant public health intervention to reduce child mortality and morbidity. However, its coverage, in spite of free accessibility, is still very low in developing countries. One of the primary reasons for this low coverage is the lack of analysis and proper utilization of immunization data at various healthcare facilities. Purpose: In this paper, the existing machine learning based data analytics techniques have been reviewed critically to highlight the gaps where this high potential data could be exploited in a meaningful manner. Results: It has been revealed from our review, that the existing approaches use data analytics techniques without considering the complete complexity of Expanded Program on Immunization which includes the maintenance of cold chain systems, proper distribution of vaccine and quality of data captured at various healthcare facilities. Moreover, in developing countries, there is no centralized data repository where all data related to immunization is being gathered to perform analytics at various levels of granularities. Conclusion: We believe that the existing non-centralized immunization data with the right set of machine learning and Artificial Intelligence based techniques will not only improve the vaccination coverage but will also help in predicting the future trends and patterns of its coverage at different geographical locations.

BACKGROUND This paper presents a systematic literature review of existing remote health monitoring systems with special reference to neonatal intensive care (NICU). Articles on NICU clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) which used cloud computing and big data analytics were surveyed. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to review technologies used to provide NICU CDSS. The literature review highlights the gaps within frameworks providing HAaaS paradigm for big data analytics METHODS Literature searches were performed in Google Scholar, IEEE Digital Library, JMIR Medical Informatics, JMIR Human Factors and JMIR mHealth and only English articles published on and after 2015 were included. The overall search strategy was to retrieve articles that included terms that were related to “health analytics” and “as a service” or “internet of things” / ”IoT” and “neonatal intensive care unit” / ”NICU”. Title and abstracts were reviewed to assess relevance. RESULTS In total, 17 full papers met all criteria and were selected for full review. Results showed that in most cases bedside medical devices like pulse oximeters have been used as the sensor device. Results revealed a great diversity in data acquisition techniques used however in most cases the same physiological data (heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation) was acquired. Results obtained have shown that in most cases data analytics involved data mining classification techniques, fuzzy logic-NICU decision support systems (DSS) etc where as big data analytics involving Artemis cloud data analysis have used CRISP-TDM and STDM temporal data mining technique to support clinical research studies. In most scenarios both real-time and retrospective analytics have been performed. Results reveal that most of the research study has been performed within small and medium sized urban hospitals so there is wide scope for research within rural and remote hospitals with NICU set ups. Results have shown creating a HAaaS approach where data acquisition and data analytics are not tightly coupled remains an open research area. Reviewed articles have described architecture and base technologies for neonatal health monitoring with an IoT approach. CONCLUSIONS The current work supports implementation of the expanded Artemis cloud as a commercial offering to healthcare facilities in Canada and worldwide to provide cloud computing services to critical care. However, no work till date has been completed for low resource setting environment within healthcare facilities in India which results in scope for research. It is observed that all the big data analytics frameworks which have been reviewed in this study have tight coupling of components within the framework, so there is a need for a framework with functional decoupling of components.
