Abstract:
The healthcare industry has become increasingly demanding in recent years. The growing number of patients makes it difficult for doctors and
staff to manage their work effectively. In order to achieve their objectives, data analysts collect a large amount of data, analyze it, and use it to
derive valuable insights. Data analytics may become a promising solution as healthcare industry demands increase. The paper discusses the
challenges of data analytics in the healthcare sector and the benefits of using big data for healthcare analytics. Aside from focusing on the
opportunities that big data analytics has in the healthcare sector, the paper will also discuss data governance, strategy formulation, and
improvements to IT infrastructure. Implementation techniques include Hadoop, HDFS, MapReduce and Apache in Big Data Analytics. A
Healthcare Management System can be categorized into five divisions, namely, Drug discovery, Disease prevention, Diagnosis and treatment,
Hospital operations, post-care, requiring comprehensive data management. Big Data analysis support transformation is identified as a required
component in future research for the application of Big Data in HealthCare.

Keywords —Big Data Analytics, Internet of Things, Healthcare Management Systems, Pharmaceutical, Drug Delivery, Clinical
Diagnosis, Insurance.
