Abstract
The amount of data being generated in the healthcare industry is growing at a very fast rate. This has generated immense interest in leveraging the availability of healthcare data to improve health outcomes and reduce costs. Big data analytics has earned a remarkable interest in the health sector as it could be used in the diagnosis and prediction of diseases. This paper is a review of current big data analytics techniques in healthcare, their applications, challenges and solutions to those challenges.
