Big Data Analytics for healthcare: theory and applications

Abstract In the past 10 years, the healthcare industry is growing at a remarkable rate. The healthcare industry is generating enormous amounts of data in terms of volume, velocity, and variety. Big Data methodologies in healthcare can not only increase the business value but will also add to the improvement of healthcare services. Several techniques can be implemented to develop early disease diagnose systems and improve treatment procedures using detailed analysis over time. In such a situation, Big data Analytics proposes to connect intricate databases to achieve more useful results. In this chapter, we will discuss the procedure of big data analytics in the healthcare sector with some practical applications along with its challenges. We will also have a look at the various big data techniques and their tools for implementation. We conclude this chapter with a discussion on potential opportunities for analytics in the healthcare sector.
