Big data analytics for health systems

Abstract

The speedily growing field of big data analytics has started to play a pivot role in the advancement of healthcare practices and research. It has provided tools to mount up, manage, analyze, and incorporate large volumes of unrelated, structured, and unstructured data produced by current healthcare systems. Big data analytics is a useful technique that is useful to provide better analysis of disease. However, the acceptance rate and research development in this space is still delayed by some fundamental problems inbuilt within the big data standard. Current research which focuses on utilization of huge volume of medical data while combining multidimensional data from different sources is discussed. Some areas of research within this field which have the ability to provide significant impact on healthcare delivery are also examined.
