The current Indian Healthcare system is in need of a radical reinvention. In India, increase in income levels, aging population, rising health awareness and changing attitude towards preventive healthcare is expected to boost healthcare services demand in future. The massive growth of the volume, velocity, and variety of digital health data creates both manageability issues and opportunities for greater patient insights. Finding a way to successfully manage Big Insights to eventually “predict, personalize, and prevent” could lead to early detection of potential problems, which means healthier people, as well as fewer complications and admissions. This paper provides an overview of Big Data, applicability of it in Healthcare system, opportunities that it hold to improve Indian healthcare, challenges in this journey, some of the work in progress and a future outlook on how Big Data Analytics can help lower healthcare costs in India while providing better health care access to the priceless human resources.
