We are living in a world dominated by data and its usage. Compilation, assessment, analysis and the systematic usage of available data to improve services forms the bedrock of many industries today. Data mining and data analysis, as it is called, hugely support the functioning of a large number of industries. Prominent among them are online sellers and retail outlets which examine and analyse every footfall and use the information to improve their performance and service delivery.

big data analytics, things have not quite been the same in the field of medicine too. Much like in many other industries, this tool today is being used to revolutionise healthcare, improve delivery, systematise research and achieve better diagnosis.
