, Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention discloses the system for health tourism using big data.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Health Tourism is where people who live in one country and travel to another country to receive medical and surgical care while at the same time receiving equal to or greater care than they would have in their own country, and are traveling for medical care because of affordability, better access to care or a higher level of quality of care.
“Domestic Medical Tourism” is where people who live in one country travel to another city, region or state to receive medical and surgical care while at the same time receiving equal to or greater care than they would have in their own home city, and are traveling for medical care because of affordability, better access to care or a higher level of quality of care.
The reasons of health tourism are as:
Search of better and higher quality of medical treatments that may not be available in the native country.
To find a cheaper place for the medical procedures of same quality.
In some countries, certain medical procedures are not legal, such as fertility procedures.
For such reason people go to different countries to get the procedure done.
But finding for particular city, particular hospital for particular medical issues is very hectic and time consuming.
Finding on the particular hospitals website about treatment is one option. But still there is problem, how many websites would check for similar treatment? And again, how to decide which hospital is more reliable and economically lower is the real problem faced by visitor.
The present invention discloses the system for health tourism using big data technology which will give the all options for particular treatment for particular country or city.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
The main object of the invention is that, the system for health tourism using big data with proper suggestion of places and hospitals for particular treatment.
Another object of the invention is that, it is time saving system.
Other object of the invention is that, due to big data technology, the places for particular treatment would save the money of patient.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention discloses the system for health tourism with the help of big data.
The user logs in to website of the health tourism system. There user has to select one of the types of health tourism. After selecting the type of area of health tourism, the name of all hospitals with fees and availability of doctors, surgeons are appearing on screen. So, user can decide which hospital he want to go for treatment.
The data on website is gathered by big data technology.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention discloses the system of health tourism using big data technology.
Tourism has been proved as the driving force for the economy of the many countries in the world. The contribution of tourism can be seen in poverty eradication and conservation as well.
Health tourism means to travel to other countries because of high cure, specialized treatment and low cost. There are types of health tourism, such as;
Wellness Tourism – Spas, stress relief, rejuvenation center
Alternative system of medicine – Ayurveda, siddha, treatment for disease like arthritis and rheumatism
Cosmetic surgery – Dental care, plastic surgery, breast enhancement, tummy reduction, skin treatment
Advanced and life caring healthcare – organ transplants, cardio vascular surgery, eye treatment, hip replacement
But it is difficult to any health tourist to search good hospital in any country with good treatment and lower expenses. It is not possible to search each and every hospitals website.
Here, the big data technology comes in picture.
Big data is a term that is used to describe data that is high volume, high velocity, and/or high variety. It requires new technologies and techniques to capture, store, and analyse it. And is used to enhance decision making, provide insight and discovery, and support and optimize processes.
With the help of big data technology, website suggest the appropriate hospitals list for particular type of health tourism.
The system of healthcare tourism using big data technology is comprising of the contents such as;
Any electronic device having internet connection
Any open-source framework like Hadoop for data analysis which stored data on big data.
A website application for health tourism management
Big data consists of five stages such as-
Data sources- web and social media, machines, Sensing, IoT
Content format – structured, semi-structured, unstructured data
Data stores – document oriented, column oriented, graph database, key value
Data Staging – cleaning, transform and normalization
Data processing – Batch and real time
The system of healthcare tourism using big data technology is comprising of the following steps such as;
Step 1) Website for health tourism is created and data for website is provided by big data
Step 2) User check in website for suggestion
Step 3) User select one option from list of health tourism types
Step 4) The list of particular type is shown to user
The list contains the name of hospital country wise
Step 5) If user select one hospital, doctor availability and expenses for treatment is shown to user
The main advantage of the present invention is, it is very time saving. Because on one click the list of hospital, availability of doctor and expenses of treatment is shown to user. So, it is very helpful to user to take the decision for where to go.
Another advantage of the present invention is, user can see the review of past patient for particular hospital, particular doctor, so decision making goes easy
The example of health tourism is India. India has experienced an influx of patients from surrounding countries with less developed health care systems, such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar and central Asia. Some come from further afield, including Africa and the Middle East. The country is also becoming popular with Americans, Canadians and Europeans for cost reasons.
Another example of health tourism is Singapore. Gleneagles Hospital in Singapore as one of the world’s top-10 hospitals for medical tourism last year. Its specialities include cardiology, gastroenterology, liver transplants and orthopaedics and it is owned by Parkway Hospital Group, which operates hospitals throughout Asia.
