algorithms, scientists have been able to identify molecules that activate a particular protein which is relevant to symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia; this could lead to early development of drugs for the treatment of these as yet incurable diseases [26].

      1.5.6 Cost Reduction

      With the availability of medical data, the healthcare provider gets all the background information of his patient helping him to make decisions with less errors, resulting in lower costs for the patient and the healthcare system. Analysis of data from a particular patient population helps in deciding disease management strategies improving preventive care, thereby minimizing costs.

      1.5.7 Population Health

      Big data availability leads to optimal use of the available resources for the entire community. It provides insights as to which patient population is especially vulnerable to a particular illness, so that measures can be taken to lessen the impact of a disease whether communicable or non-communicable by scaling up the facilities needed for its management so that the impact of the disease can be contained.

      1.5.8 Telemedicine

      Doctors recommend telemedicine to patients for personalized treatment solutions to prevent readmissions, and data analytics can then be used to make assessments and predictions of the course and associated management adjustments.

      1.5.9 Equipment Maintenance

      With connectivity between healthcare infrastructures for seamless real-time operations, its maintenance to prevent breakdowns becomes the backbone of the entire system.

      1.5.10 Improved Operational Efficiency

      The big data helps us understand the admission, diagnosis, and records of utilization of resources, helping to understand the efficiency and productivity of the hospital facilities.

      1.5.11 Outbreak Prediction

      With the availability of data like temperature and rainfall, reported cases reasonable predictions can be made about the outbreak of vector borne diseases like malaria and encephalitis, saving lives.

      The volumes of data generated from diverse sources need to be sorted into a cohesive format and then be constantly updated so that it can be shared between healthcare service providers addressing the relevant security concerns, which is the biggest challenge. Insights gained from big data help us in understanding the pooled data better, thereby helping in improving the outcomes and benefitting insurance providers by reducing fraud and false claims.

      The healthcare industry needs skilled data analysts who can sift out relevant data, analyze it, and communicate it to the relevant decision makers.
