Abstract
The evolution of technology and digital devices has qualified a whole new dimension of Big data analytics that can lead to massive developments across the world in every sector including Healthcare. This paper illustrates the challenges and applications of Big Data in healthcare. It is a vast area of study that includes numerous data records, simultaneously; increasing storage of the technology has aided us to store this data. The study is based on different sources of secondary data, thus, is descriptive and qualitative in nature. The details of Big Data analytics in Healthcare has been acknowledged by a methodical literature review, after which selected examples for future benefits has also been evaluated. In the end, based on the assessment, possible ways to minimize the challenges and issues, future prospects and possible suggestions have been provided. The paper covers the challenges, issues, applications, and future scopes of Big Data in Healthcare.
