Biomedical big data amasses from different sources such as electronic health records, health research, wearable devices and social media. Recent advances in data capturing, storage and analysis techniques have facilitated conversion of a wealth of knowledge in biomedical big data into evidence-based actionable plans to enhance population health and well-being. The delay in reaping the benefits of biomedical big data in dentistry is mainly due to the slow adoption of electronic health record systems, unstructured clinical records, tattered communication between data silos and perceiving oral health as a separate entity from general health. Recent recognition of the complex interplay between oral and general health has acknowledged the power of oral health big data to glean new insights on disease prevention and management. This review paper summarizes recent advances, limitations and challenges in biomedical big data in health care with emphasis on oral health and discusses the potential future applications of oral health big data to improve the quality and efficiency of personalized health care.
生物医学大数据来自于电子健康记录、健康研究、可穿戴设备和社交媒体等不同来源。数据采集、存储和分析技术的最新进展促进了将生物医学大数据中的大量知识转化为基于证据的可操作计划，以提高人口健康和福祉。牙科领域未能充分利用生物医学大数据的主要原因是电子健康记录系统的采用速度缓慢、临床记录不规范、数据孤岛之间的沟通不畅，以及将口腔健康视为与整体健康相对独立的实体。最近人们认识到口腔和整体健康之间的复杂相互作用，认识到口腔健康大数据在疾病预防和管理方面的新见解的强大功能。本文综述了医疗保健中生物医学大数据的最新进展、局限性和挑战，重点讨论了口腔健康大数据在提高个性化医疗保健质量和效率方面的潜在未来应用。
