Abstract

The rapid development of Artificial intelligence (AI) technology in the past decade has not only brought innovation and development opportunities to various industries, but also created many potential opportunities in the field of healthcare. Today’s technology is more and more advanced. As cloud computing technology matures, big data and AI are not just novel concepts, they start to reshape and transform our lives. In the future, Taiwan will face the arrival of a long-term care society and an aging population. From healthy, sub-healthy, to the final state of disability, people's healthcare needs may vary at different stages. Technology originates from human nature, and many applications of health care technology are driven by human needs. After collecting data from Internet of Things (IoT) devices and forming "health big data", combined with artificial intelligence technology, countless possible applications and services can be provided. After introducing big data analysis, this study will further illustrate how big data is applied to three stages of healthcare: "health, sub-health, and disability".
