N2 - We have introduced the R package jmBIG to facilitate the analysis of large healthcare datasets and the development of predictive models. This package provides a comprehensive set of tools and functions specifically designed for the joint modelling of longitudinal and survival data in the context of big data analytics. The jmBIG package offers efficient and scalable implementations of joint modelling algorithms, allowing for integrating large-scale healthcare datasets. By utilizing the capabilities of jmBIG, researchers and analysts can effectively handle the challenges associated with big healthcare data, such as high dimensionality and complex relationships between multiple outcomes. With the support of jmBIG, analysts can seamlessly fit Bayesian joint models, generate predictions, and evaluate the performance of the models. The package incorporates cutting-edge methodologies and harnesses the computational capabilities of parallel computing to accelerate the analysis of large-scale healthcare datasets significantly. In summary, jmBIG empowers researchers to gain deeper insights into disease progression and treatment response, fostering evidence-based decision-making and paving the way for personalized healthcare interventions that can positively impact patient outcomes on a larger scale.
