Abstract

One of the goals of health care transformation is to garner the ability to personalize care for an individual patient. In the current scenario, big data is poised to make a significant contribution toward this goal. It has the potential to create significant value in health care by improving outcomes while lowering costs. Big data's defining features include the ability to handle massive data volume and variety at high velocity. New, flexible, and easily expandable information technology (IT) infrastructure, including so-called data lakes and cloud data storage and management solutions, make big-data analytics possible. The data have been collected from various sources and analyzed. The conclusion of the paper is that the database will help clinicians and researchers better understand the genetic causes of the patient's diseases andother rare condition related to it. Based on this data, it is believed that new drugs, treatments, and therapies can be developed and patients can receive targeted therapies that may prove more effective.
