Author(s): A Kanthimathinathan, Dr. S Saravanan, Dr. P Anbalagan
Abstract:
Big data technology in healthcare means that this sector may benefit most from big Information technologies by improving decision-making and care for patients, introducing the medical business to the effective use of mass customization with an analytical tool, and last but not least, utilizing predictive analysis. However, this transformation is associated with certain risks and vulnerabilities of security and privacy in patients' information that should be managed to enhance patients' protection. This paper analyses the major risks of using Big Data in the healthcare industry, such as data leakage, unauthorized access, and data protection regulations like HIPAA and GDPR. Next, we discuss different approaches and models to combat these risks, including cryptographic, authorization, and de-identification methods. In addition, the importance of innovative solutions, which exist in blockchain and machine learning, is explored in partnership with data protection and integrity. Through the presentation of the existing problems and their solutions in the field of using Big Data in the healthcare industry, this paper intends to discuss the need to strengthen security measures concerning patients' data to make significant steps toward a better acceptance of Big Data opportunities.
