Abstract：Big data will play an important role in healthcare by improving quality and efficiency of patient care, establishing efficient treatment guidelines and reducing medical cost. The use of electronic health records enables the application of big data to healthcare amid the development of the internet and computational technology. The use of big data is based on data mining and analytics. Visual analytics tools are being used in western countries for big data processing. These tools are much better than traditional systems and can also reduce the work load of memory, thus facilitating the involvement of big data in healthcare. Precision treatment is based on big data application in patient care, which delivers information to physicians on the genes, environment and lifestyle of an individual patient with the objective to more effectively target their physiological and pharmacological responses to a specific treatment. Many cases of precision treatment are currently seen in cancer treatment.
