Abstract : A foremost research challenge in today’s world is data management and decision making. A massive amount of both unstructured and structured data is created every day so managing data has become an essential task. Health Care is one of the major areas where data has been generated tremendously and decision making based on the data has become very crucial. The need for data management and decision making in Health Care has directed the extension of ‘Data Mining’ to ‘Big Data’. Big Data is an advancement of Data Mining, which can be termed as tremendously huge sets of data that may be examined computationally to reveal patterns, trends and associations. Big Data mainly deals with storage and processing of large sets of data. In this paper a survey on Big Data in Health Care has been made which gives us an overview on tools, techniques and algorithms in Big Data used for data management and decision making in Health Care.
