Abstract

The massive growth in data is increased day by day. This massive growth of data or high volume of data with high velocity and different variety is known as big data. Analyzing, processing and storing of this data, we require efficient techniques because the traditional techniques are not able to deal with massive growth of data. This is a research based on the big data in the health and medical field which can be used to transform the gathered data (unstructured data) into several diagnostics and predictions for personalized medicine and personalized healthcare options for identifying the accurate disease or symptoms. This will have an impact in the medical field to as it will be helpful to the doctors and authorities to take decision at the time of operation and diagnosing the patients based on the symptoms. In this paper, we develop a specialist framework through which the specialists and patients can be associated for all intents and purposes, alongside that searching for answer for storing this huge information in a progressively compelling and packed structure.
