TRANSFORMING HEALTHCARE WITH BIG DATA ANALYTICS

Abstract

Big data analytics is a developing field that could offer valuable information for the healthcare industry. While managing the volume, variety, velocity, veracity, and value of big data still presents challenges in its usage and acceptance, accuracy, integrity, and semantic interpretation are of more significance in healthcare applications. However, despite these difficulties, big data is still being used and explored in the healthcare industry as a source of evidence. This fuels the need to research healthcare information to manage and contain the skyrocketing expense of healthcare and to look for proof to enhance patient outcomes. While there are several well-publicized examples of the use of big data in health, such as Google Flu and HealthMap, there is no one, comprehensive method for doing so.
