Big Data Challenges in Healthcare

Abstract

The generation and collection of large data sets have become a necessity in many areas that need to be maintained for a long time.  While this provides significant opportunities, the main challenge is to provide economically scalable storage systems for efficient storage and preservation of data, as well as enabling search, accessing data and analysis in the future. Data analysis is the process of inspection, cleaning, conversion, data modelling with a view to highlighting useful information, propose conclusions, and support decision-making. Several business users wish to use data analysis of business data to understand trends, to create predictions and improve their business decisions. This paper is a review study to the importance of Big Data and its challenges in healthcare sector.
