A Systematic Literature Review and Future Perspectives for Handling Big Data Analytics in COVID-19 Diagnosis.

In today's digital world, information is growing along with the expansion of Internet usage worldwide. As a consequence, bulk of data is generated constantly which is known to be "Big Data". One of the most evolving technologies in twenty-first century is Big Data analytics, it is promising field for extracting knowledge from very large datasets and enhancing benefits while lowering costs. Due to the enormous success of big data analytics, the healthcare sector is increasingly shifting toward adopting these approaches to diagnose diseases. Due to the recent boom in medical big data and the development of computational methods, researchers and practitioners have gained the ability to mine and visualize medical big data on a larger scale. Thus, with the aid of integration of big data analytics in healthcare sectors, precise medical data analysis is now feasible with early sickness detection, health status monitoring, patient treatment, and community services is now achievable. With all these improvements, a deadly disease COVID is considered in this comprehensive review with the intention of offering remedies utilizing big data analytics. The use of big data applications is vital to managing pandemic conditions, such as predicting outbreaks of COVID-19 and identifying cases and patterns of spread of COVID-19. Research is still being done on leveraging big data analytics to forecast COVID-19. But precise and early identification of COVID disease is still lacking due to the volume of medical records like dissimilar medical imaging modalities. Meanwhile, Digital imaging has now become essential to COVID diagnosis, but the main challenge is the storage of massive volumes of data. Taking these limitations into account, a comprehensive analysis is presented in the systematic literature review (SLR) to provide a deeper understanding of big data in the field of COVID-19.
