Abstract
With the advent of Internet of Things, the entire world seems to be connected. Everything is connected to anything. It is natural that health care could not remain untouched, and smart health care systems are coming in practice. Wearable or implanted sensors form body area networks transmitting data at an enormous rate. This further brings in the huge amount of data, often called Big Data which needs to be stored and analyzed. In the era of Artificial intelligence, it is imperative that researchers look towards machine learning tools to handle this vast amount of medical data. This chapter presents a framework for data analytics using Random Forest classification technique. A comparison is done after applying feature selection. It is seen that the training time gets reduced substantially even though the accuracy does not suffer. This is the most important requirement of Big data handling. The algorithms are implemented on Apache Spark.
