Big data spans three dimensions: Volume, Velocity and Variety

Velocity Often time-sensitive, data must be analyzed as it’s streaming in to maximize its value to patient care (e.g. patient monitoring)

Volume in petabytes Electronic medical records, images, digital pathology, email, web communications

Variety

Structured and unstructured data: clinical notes, audio transcription, imaging, click streams
