Big Data Challenges in Healthcare

 

There are several big data processing and data-centric security challenges in biomedicine and healthcare today, including:

  • health insurance companies running promotional and fraud detection data warehouses which need fast integration, cleansing, reformatting, and analysis of claim data
  • genomic data transformation and analytics
  • pharmaceutical companies manipulating and reporting on sales, manufacturing, and supply chain data
  • HIPAA-covered entities and business associates like marketers or processors of patient and prescription databases who need to find, de-ID, and audit Protected Health Information (PHI) to comply with the Safe Harbor Rule, and/or score the risk of re-identification to comply with the Expert Determination Method rule
  • DBAs and developers requiring safe, intelligent test data
