A Survey on Privacy Preserving Approaches on Health Care Big Data in Cloud

Abstract

To reform and enhance healthcare services, the use of information technology is increasing in an unprecedented manner. This technological advancement results in generating substantial medical data from various Healthcare related things. This Medical Big data has a maximum prospective to upgrade patients’ treatment and follow up. We anticipate to flare-up some preventable infections, and we can significantly reduce the Healthcare delivery cost, by using the Medical Big data. One specific pattern observed in the medical services industry is serial shifting data to the cloud. By shifting data to the cloud, the accessibility of the patient’s medical history in real-time is possible and it can reduce costs. Though we enjoy multiple advantages of cloud computing for Medical Big data, we face specific security issues of our data stored in the cloud. In this paper, a brief analysis on various approaches used to protect the healthcare related information stored in the cloud and further they are secured using cryptographic techniques.
