The importance of big data over analytics made the process of solving various real-world problems simpler. The big data and data science tool box provided a realm of data preparation, data analysis, implementation process, and solutions. Data connections over any data source, data preparation for analysis has been made simple with the availability of tremendous tools in data analytics package. Some of the analytical tools include R programming, python programming, rapid analytics, and weka. The patterns and the granularity over the observed data can be fetched with the visualizations and data observations. This chapter provides an insight regarding the types of analytics in a big data perspective with the realm in applicability towards healthcare data. Also, the processing paradigms and techniques can be clearly observed through the chapter contents.

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.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has a proven record of application in the field of medicine and is used in various urological conditions such as oncology, urolithiasis, paediatric urology, urogynaecology, infertility and reconstruction. Data is the driving force of AI and the past decades have undoubtedly witnessed an upsurge in healthcare data. Urology is a specialty that has always been at the forefront of innovation and research and has rapidly embraced technologies to improve patient outcomes and experience. Advancements made in Big Data Analytics raised the expectations about the future of urology. This review aims to investigate the role of big data and its blend with AI for trends and use in urology. We explore the different sources of big data in urology and explicate their current and future applications. A positive trend has been exhibited by the advent and implementation of AI in urology with data available from several databases. The extensive use of big data for the diagnosis and treatment of urological disorders is still in its early stage and under validation. In future however, big data will no doubt play a major role in the management of urological conditions.

In today’s world, an immense measure of information in the form of unstructured, semi-structured and unstructured is generated by different sources all over the world in a tremendous amount. Big data is the termed coined to address these enormous amounts of data. One of the major challenges in the health sector is handling a high-volume variety of data generated from diverse sources and utilizing it for the wellbeing of human. Big data analytics is one of technique designed to operate with monstrous measures of information. The impact of big data in healthcare field and utilization of Hadoop system tools for supervising the big data are deliberated in this paper. The big data analytics role and its theoretical and conceptual architecture include the gathering of diverse information’s such as electronic health records, genome database and clinical decisions support systems, text representation in health care industry is investigated in this paper.

The benefits of big data analytics in the healthcare sector are assumed to be substantial, and early proponents have been very enthusiastic (Chen, Chiang, & Storey, 2012), but little research has been carried out to confirm just what those benefits are, and to whom they accrue (Bollier, 2010). This chapter presents an overview of existing literature that demonstrates quantifiable, measurable benefits of big data analytics, confirmed by researchers across a variety of healthcare disciplines. The chapter examines aspects of clinical operations in healthcare including Cost Effectiveness Research (CER), Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDS), Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), Personalized Medicine (PM), as well as several public health initiatives. This examination is in the context of searching for the benefits described resulting from the deployment of big data analytics. Results indicate the principle benefits are delivered in terms of improved outcomes for patients and lower costs for healthcare providers.

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.

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.

Voluminous data are being generated by various means. The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged recently to group all manmade artificial things around us. Due to intelligent devices, the annual growth of data generation has increased rapidly, and it is expected that by 2020, it will reach more than 40 trillion GB. Data generated through devices are in unstructured form. Traditional techniques of descriptive and predictive analysis are not enough for that. Big Data Analytics have emerged to perform descriptive and predictive analysis on such voluminous data. This chapter first deals with the introduction to Big Data Analytics. Big Data Analytics is very essential in Bioinformatics field as the size of human genome sometimes reaches 200 GB. The chapter next deals with different types of big data in Bioinformatics. The chapter describes several problems and challenges based on big data in Bioinformatics. Finally, the chapter deals with techniques of Big Data Analytics in the Bioinformatics field.
