Big data is in every industry. It is being utilized in almost all business functions within these industries. Basically, it creates value by converting human decisions into transformed automated algorithms using various tools and techniques. In this chapter, the authors look towards big data analytics from the healthcare perspective. Healthcare involves the whole supply chain of industries from the pharmaceutical companies to the clinical research centres, from the hospitals to individual physicians, and anyone who is involved in the medical arena right from the supplier to the consumer (i.e. the patient). The authors explore the growth of big data analytics in the healthcare industry including its limitations and potential.

The technological advancement has also opened up various ways to collect data through automatic mechanisms. One such mechanism collects a huge amount of data without any further maintenance or human interventions. The health industry sector has been confronted by the need to manage the big data being produced by various sources, which are well known for producing high volumes of heterogeneous data. High level of sophistication has been incorporated in almost all the industry, and healthcare is one of them. The article shows that the existence of huge amount of data in healthcare industry and the data generated in healthcare industry is neither homogeneous nor a simple type of data. Then the various sources and objectives of data are also highlighted and discussed. As data come from various sources, they must be versatile in nature in all aspects. So, rightly and meaningfully, big data analytics has penetrated the healthcare industry and its impact is also highlighted.

In the contemporary e-era, big data plays a major role across the manufacturing and production industries, service and consultancy industries, and of course, information technology, and it heightens the influence on healthcare industries too. More and bigger data is becoming accessible publicly like Google Trends, Cancer Genome Atlas data portal, etc. Hence, developing big data analytics tools and techniques is the need of the hour in healthcare and pharma. The problem of the healthcare industry generates with the lack of information that is available for decision-making. The volume of data available is no doubt too big, but the integration of data from different players becomes a very tedious task. The aim of this report is to provide a detailed comparative study of pharmaceutical industry from Indian and global perspectives and also to provide the applications of big data analytics in the healthcare industry and indicate the limitations and way forward.

Data, in today’s world, is essential. The Big Data technology is rising to examine the data to make fast insight and strategic decisions. Big data refers to the facility to assemble and examine the vast amounts of data that is being generated by different departments working directly or indirectly involved in agriculture. Due to lack of resources the pest analysis of rice crop is in poor condition which effects the production. In Andhra Pradesh rice is cultivated in almost all the districts. The goal is to provide better solutions for finding pest attack conditions in all districts using Big Data Analytics and to make better decisions on high productivity of rice crop in Andhra Pradesh.

The healthcare industry has become increasingly demanding in recent years. The growing number of patients makes it difficult for doctors and staff to manage their work effectively. In order to achieve their objectives, data analysts collect a large amount of data, analyze it, and use it to derive valuable insights. Data analytics may become a promising solution as healthcare industry demands increase. The paper discusses the challenges of data analytics in the healthcare sector and the benefits of using big data for healthcare analytics. Aside from focusing on the opportunities that big data analytics has in the healthcare sector, the paper will also discuss data governance, strategy formulation, and improvements to IT infrastructure. Implementation techniques include Hadoop, HDFS, MapReduce, and Apache in Big Data Analytics. A Healthcare Management System can be categorized into five divisions, namely, Drug discovery, Disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment, Hospital operations, post-care, requiring comprehensive data management. Big Data analysis support transformation is identified as a required component in future research for the application of Big Data in HealthCare.

Big Data has changed the way we manage, analyze and impact the data information in any industry. A champion among the most promising zones where it will, in general, be associated with takeoff progress is therapeutic medicinal administrations. Administration examinations can diminish costs of treatment, foresee flare-ups of pestilences, keep up a key separation from preventable diseases and improve individual fulfillment overall. The chapter depicts the beginning field of a huge information investigation in human services, talks about the advantages, diagrams a design structure and approach, portrays models revealed in the writing, quickly examines the difficulties, and offers ends. A continuous examination which targets the utilization of tremendous volumes of remedial data information while combining multimodal data information from various sources is discussed. Potential locales of research inside this field which can give noteworthy impact on medicinal administrations movement are in like manner dissected.
