A Big Data Framework Approach in Healthcare Industry

Abstract

It has provided tools to accumulate, manage, analyze, and assimilate large volumes of disparate, structured, and unstructured dataproduced by current healthcare systems. Big data analytics has been recently applied towards aiding the process of care deliveryand disease exploration. However, the adoption rate and research development in this space is still hindered by some fundamentalproblems inherent within the big data paradigm. In this paper, we discuss some of these major challenges with a focus on threeupcoming and promising areas of medical research: image, signal, and genomics based analytics.
