Data analytics and “as a service”-based apps are slowly transforming the way that healthcare is provided. \u00a0The biggest segment of the Big Data as a Service market is in health care and is valued at $1.09 billion in 2015, according to a report by Technavio<\/a>. \u00a0Some of the growth is driven by a desire\u00a0to reduce the costs for providing health care. \u00a0There is also the factor that the ever increasing amounts of health data that are being created are better handled by centralized organizations that specialize in managing data.<\/p>\n

Sunil Kumar Singh, lead analyst at\u00a0Technavio<\/a>, said that “the healthcare sector is undergoing rapid technological changes in electronic medical records, medical imaging, and telemedicine, to improve patient care. Thus, big data in healthcare is gaining prominence for enhancing the quality of services. Big data as a service solutions are supporting a wide range of healthcare functions such as disease surveillance, clinical decision support, and population health management. Therefore, the need for digital transformation is driving healthcare institutions to spend more on big data technology.”<\/p>\n

85 percent of the healthcare as a service (HaaS) market is being managed within Amazon AWS, according to Technavio. \u00a0Amazon Elastic MapReduce and Hadoop are the\u00a0principle tools that are used.\u00a0Other products being used in the HaaS sector include Microsoft HDInsight<\/a>, Cloudera CDH<\/a>, and IBM Infosphere BigInsights<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Danny Sands<\/a>, MD, founder of the Society for Participatory Medicine, doesn’t agree fully agree with a data centric solution,<\/a> although he finds merit in the use of data as a tool. \u00a0He calls putting too much reliance on data and analytics a “carwash model”. \u00a0Healthcare is “not a service industry, it’s a collaboration. \u00a0Healthcare cannot be successful unless both parties are involved in what’s going on.”<\/p>\n
