Abstract

Healthcare systems are facing various challenges such as high healthcare costs, aging population, increased number of patients with chronic illnesses, dissatisfied patients, lack of medical specialists. Use of big data analytics and technologies is one of the ways to overcome problems and improve the current health systems. The main idea of this paper is to give a review of big data concept, summarize big data applications, and identify challenges in medical and healthcare with an overview of the current situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
