In a digitized world, data is growing exponentially and it is difficult to analyze the data and give the results. Data mining techniques play an important role in healthcare sector - BigData. By making use of Data mining algorithms it is possible to analyze, detect and predict the presence of disease which helps doctors to detect the disease early and in decision making. The objective of data mining techniques used is to design an automated tool that notifies the patient’s treatment history disease and medical data to doctors. Data mining techniques are very much useful in analyzing medical data to achieve meaningful and practical patterns. This project works on diabetes medical data, classification and clustering algorithms like (OPTICS, NAIVEBAYES, and BRICH) are implemented and the efficiency of the same is examined.

Huge amount of data is generated from Healthcare transactions where data are complex, voluminous and heterogeneous in nature. This large dataset can be used as an ideal store which can be analyzed for knowledge discovery as well as various future predictions. So, Data mining is becoming increasingly popular as it offers set of innovative tools and techniques to handle this kind of data set whereas traditional methods have limitations for that. In summary, providing the better patient care and reduction in healthcare cost are two major goals of application of data mining in healthcare. Initially, this chapter explores on the various types of eHealth data and its characteristics. Subsequently it explores various domains in healthcare sector and shows how data mining plays a major role in those domains. Finally, it describes few common data mining techniques and their applications in eHealth domain.
