Abstract

The technological advancement has also opened up various ways to collect data through automatic mechanisms. One installed mechanism collects a huge amount of data without any further maintenance or human interventions. The health industry has been confronted by the need to manage the big data being produced by various sources, which are well known for producing high volumes of heterogeneous data. A high level of sophistication has been incorporated in almost all the industry, and healthcare is also one of them. The article explores the existence of a huge amount of data in the healthcare industry, and the data generated in the healthcare industry is neither homogeneous nor simple. Then the various sources and objectives of data are highlighted and discussed. As data come from various sources, they must be versatile in nature in all aspects. So, rightly and meaningfully, big data analytics has penetrated the healthcare industry, and its impact is highlighted.
