Big Data, Privacy, and Healthcare

Abstract

In the era of big data, large amounts of data are generated from different areas like education, business, stock market, healthcare, etc. Most of the available data from these areas are unstructured, which is large and complex. As healthcare industries become value-based from volume-based, there is a need to have specialized tools and methods to handle it. The traditional methods for data storage and retrieval can be used when data is structured in nature. Big data analytics provide technologies to store large amounts of complex healthcare data. It is believed that there is an enormous opportunity to improve lives by applying big data in the healthcare industry. No industry counts more than healthcare as it is a matter of life and death. Due to rapid development of big data tools and technologies, it is possible to improve disease diagnosis more efficiently than ever before, but security and privacy are two major issues when dealing with big data in the healthcare industry.
