Like other fields, the healthcare sector has also been greatly impacted by big data. A huge volume of healthcare data and other related data are being continually generated from diverse sources. Tapping and analysing these data, suitably, would open up new avenues and opportunities for healthcare services. In view of that, this paper aims to present a systematic overview of big data and big data analytics, applicable to modern-day healthcare. Acknowledging the massive upsurge in healthcare data generation, various ‘V's, specific to healthcare big data, are identified. Different types of data analytics, applicable to healthcare, are discussed. Along with presenting the technological backbone of healthcare big data and analytics, the advantages and challenges of healthcare big data are meticulously explained. A brief report on the present and future market of healthcare big data and analytics is also presented. Besides, several applications and use cases are discussed with sufficient details.

In the present digital era, more data are generated and collected than ever before. But, this huge amount of data is of no use until it is converted into some useful information. This huge amount of data, coming from a number of sources in various data formats and having more complexity, is called big data. To convert the big data into meaningful information, the authors use different analytical approaches. Information extracted, after applying big data analytics methods over big data, can be used in business decision making, fraud detection, healthcare services, education sector, machine learning, extreme personalization, etc. This chapter presents the basics of big data and big data analytics. Big data analysts face many challenges in storing, managing, and analyzing big data. This chapter provides details of challenges in all mentioned dimensions. Furthermore, recent trends of big data analytics and future directions for big data researchers are also described.

Abstract: This paper gives an insight of how information and communications technology (ICT) in combination with big data analytics can help to improve healthcare services in Madhya Pradesh, which is a state in India having approximately 75 million populations. With ongoing projects like ‘Digital India’ which will allow computerization of hospitals and digitization of healthcare data. Digital India coupled with ICT, can play an indispensable role in providing effective healthcare services through e-health application like electronic health record, e-prescription, computerized physician order entry, telemedicine, mhealth along with the network like State wide area network (SWAN) and National health information network which will allow sharing of healthcare records across the network. Data stored through e-health application is of huge size having different formats which makes it difficult to perform analytics on it. But with big data analytics we can perform analytics on large voluminous healthcare data and useful result obtained from data analytics, patients can be given better and specific treatments. It will also help doctors to exchange their knowledge and treatment practices. This paper also illustrates a case study on M.Y. hospital located in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. Keywords: ICT, E-health, Digital India, SWAN, CUG, Big Data Analytics.

Big data analytics (BDA) is important to reduce healthcare costs. However, there are many challenges of data aggregation, maintenance, integration, translation, analysis, and security/privacy. The study objective to establish an interactive BDA platform with simulated patient data using open-source software technologies was achieved by construction of a platform framework with Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) using HBase (key-value NoSQL database). Distributed data structures were generated from benchmarked hospital-specific metadata of nine billion patient records. At optimized iteration, HDFS ingestion of HFiles to HBase store files revealed sustained availability over hundreds of iterations; however, to complete MapReduce to HBase required a week (for 10 TB) and a month for three billion (30 TB) indexed patient records, respectively. Found inconsistencies of MapReduce limited the capacity to generate and replicate data efficiently. Apache Spark and Drill showed high performance with high usability for technical support but poor usability for clinical services. Hospital system based on patient-centric data was challenging in using HBase, whereby not all data profiles were fully integrated with the complex patient-to-hospital relationships. However, we recommend using HBase to achieve secured patient data while querying entire hospital volumes in a simplified clinical event model across clinical services.

This study addresses the healthcare services problems which focus on the upcoming and promising areas of medical research and proposed a novel approach integrating in big data analytics and Apache. The proposed approach will improve the healthcare services fastly and efficiently. The big data analytics can continually evaluate clinical data in order to improve the effective practices of physicians and improved patient care


Big Data is a collection of large or vast amount of information that grows at ever increasing rates. Big data is ordered, unstructured, semi structured or mixed data in natural world. Researchers are designing, implementing, analyzing different application. In medicinal industry large or vast amount of data is available but people are not able to extract the significant information. Healthcare big data analytics (HBDA) becomes “Healthier analytics” by fusion of techniques. In this paper, we discuss and implement algorithms of clustering using R-Studio tool. Clustering is defined as the method of partitioning set of patterns into similar groups called as clusters. We can extract the data from vast datasets in the form of clustering rules. These clustering techniques are scalable. Also, we compare the accuracies of two partition based clustering techniques k-means and Clara on healthcare datasets for giving good quality of healthcare services. Implemented results demonstrate the k-means method gives better accuracy values than Clara algorithm.

‘Big data analytics’ argues that big data is only useful if we can extract useful information from it. It looks at some of the techniques used to discover useful information from big data, such as customer preferences or how fast an epidemic is spreading. Big data analytics is changing rapidly as the size of the datasets increases and classical statistics makes room for this new paradigm. An example of big data analytics is the algorithmic method called MapReduce, a distributed data processing system that forms part of the core functionality of the Hadoop Ecosystem. Amazon, Google, Facebook, and many others use Hadoop to store and process their data.

The benefits of data analytics and Hadoop in application areas where vast volumes of data move in and out are examined and exposed in this report. Developing countries with large populations, such as India, face several challenges in the field of healthcare, including rising costs, addressing the needs of economically disadvantaged people, gaining access to hospitals, and conducting medical research, especially during epidemics. This chapter discusses the role of big data analytics and Hadoop, as well as their effect on providing healthcare services to all at the lowest possible cost.
