Big data has changed the way industries are operating now. With the exponential growth of the healthcare industry, it is observed that the data associated with this industry is growing as well. Due to the huge demand of patients for care management, the healthcare industry has started to realize the importance of advanced technologies that can bring major changes for good. Big data analytics is one such major change that has been brought about.

Information Technology or in mundane terms, IT, is a range of technologies that includes, but is not limited to hardware, software, communication technologies that create, process, store, secure and exchange data. But like any other human advancement, Modern IT has taken eons to attain its present height with each product, era, or concept gaining ephemeral importance as these are soon to be replaced by newer, more advanced technology.
