Digital healthcare promises for better, efficient and cost effective solutions to existing health problems. The huge amount of data produced per hospital every year is increasing at an alarming rate, and there is a requirement for data to be preserved for decades for future references and study purposes. Big Data is the only solution for secure and efficient storage of data. This paper is a study on existing Big Data technologies and how they can be utilized in health care sector for efficient data storage and, inevitably better utilization of stored data for treatments in future.
