The increased use of eHealth, mHealth and the Internet of Things (IoT) in
developing countries is generating massive amounts of useful data. Such use
of online-based technologies by the population has decreased the cost of
aggregating data electronically in developing countries and widen the
scopes of big data practice in the healthcare sector. Considering the
larger population size in the developing countries, population-based
research in the healthcare system and industry using big data analytics
would bridge the gap in understating how to improve and optimize health
services through gaining newer insights. Beside the scopes of efficient and
optimized healthcare service functions, big data also offers potential
possibilities to aid in minimizing the budgetary waste in healthcare
expenditure in the poor and developing countries. However, in many cases,
the promise of big data is found to be constricted due to lack of
well-versed legislation and governmental supports in developing countries.

The diffusion of online technology in developing countries offers promising
opportunities to not only improved and optimized healthcare services for
the disadvantaged people but also for the prevention of the spread of
particular diseases in vulnerable areas. Although the practice of big data
in developing countries is relatively complex for lack of infrastructure,
skills, and supports, it could lead to big improvements in the planning and
materialization of healthcare interventions. Research shows that the use of
big data in developing countries is relatively new and the subsequent
improvement in healthcare delivery there is still very little. Therefore,
it is important to know about the impacts of users’ perceptions and
concerns about privacy and trust in collecting data for big data practice,
and as well as, the current development in forming new government policies
to avail the maximum benefits of big data practice in healthcare in
developing countries.



OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE:

The objective of this special issue is to collectively bring leading
research in the application, governance and adoption strategies for the use
of big data in healthcare in developing countries. With developing
countries in focus, this particular issue seeks papers on different
methods, frameworks, applications, and theories related to big data
practice. In this process, this issue would include the papers that
investigate the practice of big data in electronic health records,
diagnosis of disease, healthcare management, and the related concerns of
security, privacy and trust in social, economic, cultural and governmental
policy contexts that exist in developing countries. Manuscripts that would
appropriately follow research methods to distinctively contribute to the
understanding of effective big data practice in developing countries
through case studies, theoretical, practical, and conceptual frameworks
will be received for publication. This special issue would contribute to
the identification and dissemination of the best studies from the scholars,
and ultimately help in deploying big data practice in healthcare to achieve
the related millennium and sustainable development goals in developing
countries. In this regard, this special issue covers the following topics,
but not limited to, in the context of developing countries.

·         Big data for electronic health records

·         Users’ perspective of security, privacy and trust in big data
analytics.

·         Big data applications in context-sensitive targeted populations

·         Big data enabled user studies in decision making in healthcare

·         Mobile applications and infrastructure technologies in big data
application.

·         Evaluation of impact of big data application on modernized
healthcare

·         Theoretical constructs, models, architectures and
conceptualizations for big data application

·         Location Based big data application for citizen, professionals
and organizations

·         Social, cultural, legislative and economical barriers in big data
practice

·         Big data for cost minimization in healthcare delivery

·         Big data applications in healthcare by the government and its
policies

·         Big data for chorionic patient management and disease outbreak
management
