Abstract
Social and health informatics has the potential of improving the general wellbeing and health of individuals. Although the structure and nature of health facilities and services in some countries may pose a challenge for a short while, such obstacles according to many studies will be streamlined in the near future. The widespread utilization and implementation of healthcare information system in the day-to-day health care operations will lead to cost effective clinical trials and self-healthcare management. On the other hand, recent rapid development of computer technology in this area has introduced a data explosion challenge. This paper provides brief background information on Social Informatics and e-Health Systems. Follow by an overview of two hybrid intelligent techniques that might be utilized as a new generation of predictive analytics for big data particularly for knowledge discovery in big data and decision making processes in social systems.
