Big Data Analytics: Challenges and Applications in Healthcare
Fathma Mohammed, Madiha Naaz
Abstract: Background: Although electronic health records, and other health ? related technologies have proliferated in recent years, the collection of data in the healthcare industry has grown exponentially. A revolutionary tool for utilizing this plethora of health care data is big data analytics. This paper offers a thorough analysis of the difficulties and possibilities posed by the use of big data analytics in health care applications. Objectives: The primary objectives of this study are to critically evaluate the situation in the field of Big Data analytics in health care today and to highlight the major challenges that the researchers as well as practitioners must overcome. We also want to clarify the possibilities and possible advantages that big data analytics might bring to the health care sector. Methods: A comprehensive assessment of the research papers and articles that have been published in the last ten years was performed. Research terms, inclusion/exclusion criteria, and pertinent databases have to be found as part of the review technique. A thorough summary was then provided by categorizing the chosen research and combining their findings. Results: In accordance to the report, big data analytics in healthcare encounter a number of difficulties, including issues with connectivity, data privacy and security, and a shortage of qualified data scientists and health care workers. It also draws attention to a number of potential, such as the use of statistical analysis to prevent disease, enhanced clinical decision support systems, and improved patient care via customized medicine. The analysis also identifies new trends that have immense potential to transform health care delivery, such as the implementation of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. Conclusion: The articles emphasizes the significance of tackling the difficulties associated with using Big Data analytics for healthcare while taking use of the numerous benefits it offers. Adopting advanced analytics techniques can result in improved patient outcomes, lower health care costs, and more effective health care delivery as the health care sector continues to develop. Multidisciplinary collaboration, strong data governance, and perpetual creativity are necessary to fully utilize the opportunities of Big Data analytics in health care applications. Researchers, medical practitioners, and administrators can use this study as a helpful resource to help them make well ? informed decisions in the rapidly evolving field of health care analytics.
