Revolutionizing Healthcare with Big Data



The term ‘Big Data’ is constantly being mentioned in the IT sector. Many analysts and writers have also dived into the Big Data research to determine how well this technology can help various domains target potential customers.  Following the biggest Information Management conferences hosted by IBM and Oracle in the year 2010, people slowly started talking about Big Data and were searching for it on Google. Press releases, write-ups and blogs on the same topic started making their way to various online platforms. In the same year, job sites posted numerous Big Data jobs.  In 2011, Gartner [1]included Big Data to its 2011 Hype Cycle along with Gamification and Internet of things.

The very same Gartner report suggested that Big Data will evolve at a rapid pace in the future. This is exactly what businesses are experiencing at present. We live in the age of ‘information explosion’. Almost every business today is data-driven and is highly customer-centric. So collection and generation of huge volumes of data by companies have become inevitable. Big Data helps decode this data and provides businesses with useful information that can be used to personalize client services.
