Abstract

Recently, the growth of the clinical sector and the technologies used in combination with the healthcare sector has resulted in the massive growth of the data that is being produced. To handle, store, and analyze such massive amounts of data, big data techniques are being used in the healthcare sector. This article features the gigantic effects of big data on restorative partners, patients, doctors, pharmaceutical and therapeutic administrators, and healthcare backup plans, and furthermore audits the various difficulties that must be considered to get the best benefits from this big data and accessible applications.
