A cloud based environment for big data analytics in healthcare

Abstract

A large amount of modern healthcare data is generated through imaging, Electronic Health Report (EHR), sensor based technology and other various healthcare processes. An elaborative perspective in technological advancement has enabled practitioners to answer questions for governance and future decision making. However, very few tools exist to critically analyze such big data for future knowledge discovery. We can further say that cloud computing technology can be a benchmark to substantiate big data which may lead to discover of hidden patterns and trends to enhance knowledge for progression of disease. This paper approached various aspects of cloud based services to enable big data analytic in healthcare data management system.
