Big Data and analytics is an integral part of digital transformation .Many organisations have undergone a digital transformation to adapt the ever-changing digital landscape. They are achieving transformation through their control over Big Data and Analytics, and by using Machine Learning technology. Big data offers organisations the chance to learn more than what has ever been possible about what their customers want. Many health plans still rely on legacy technologies to power their business. This makes them vulnerable to customer-centric, tech-enabled newcomers. But IT leaders have a window of opportunity to unlock system data, enabling care orchestration.
Telemedicine is the use of telecommunication and information technologies to provide clinical and medical health care at a distance. It helps to eliminate distance barriers and can improve access to clinical services that would often not be consistently available in distant rural communities. It is also used to save lives in critical care and emergency situations. Although there were distant precursors to telemedicine, it is essentially a product of 20th century telecommunication and information technologies. These technologies permit communications between patient and medical staff with both convenience and loyalty, as well as the transmission of medical, imaging and health informatics data from one site to another. It is a process for accurate data collection in digital format and an electronic medical record for data incorporation .Remote transmission Telemedicine is a system for automatically flagging and providing feedback for outlier data.

Telesurgery additionally called as Remote surgery. Telesurgery is a capacity for a specialist to perform surgery on a patient despite the fact that they are not physically in a similar area. The principal genuine and complete remote surgery was led on 7 September 2001 over the Atlantic Ocean, with French specialist (Dr. Jacques Marescaux) in New York City playing out a cholecystectomy on a 68-year-old female patient 6,230 km away in Strasbourg, France. It was named Operation Lindbergh.
Remote telesurgery rises above the majority of the topographical limitations on specialized surgery. A man at the South Pole requiring surgery can have it there by remote telesurgery ("polar telesurgery"). A space traveller can be worked upon in a space station ("astrosurgery"). What's more, individuals in developing countries will have the capacity to profit by particular developing and not leave home for it.
